I use the Photos program in Windows to reduce the file size of photos to 600 x 800 pixels or medium size for attaching to e-mails usually works for me. I save them as .jpg files. There are many other ways to do it, but this is what works for me. Good luck with your photos.

Re: 51 f 5 wheels
Not sure if this will work for you Frank, but a friend of mine
needed wheels for an old truck (not sure of the brand anymore) and he went to a salvage yard that had lots of motor homes that were there for salvage. He got a nice set of big wheels with very nice tires, all for $300.... .

Frank, you might post your question on the Early V-8 forum, there are several knowledgeable truck guys on that forum that are pretty familiar with the wheels for the larger Ford trucks. Good luck with your search.
