I have a opportunity to pick up a set of 5x5.5 steel rims for a decent price. They are off a 57 F100, although cannot confirm they are original to this vehicle. Pic attached. Anyway to tell if this will work on my 70 Bronco? Someone has already pointed out that they may not be a matching set. Looking at the two bottom ones, there appears to be differences. I don't want to drive an hour to pick them up if I can't use them.

Thanks
Will

Ive been told there are two versions of the oem steel wheels on Broncos. You can see the difference in the little slotted area. That bottom pic looks like the Kelsey Hayes that I have on all mine. Its not that hard to find a decent matching set. I think Melissa at Bronco Hut has some.

Thanks Hotrod. I can get these locally for $75, no shipping so I was hoping could use them. But I can see the difference you are talking about.

Hi, X2, that is not a matched set. I don't see the nubs to hold the dog dish hub caps on the different one.
They may work fine.
Good luck

Just check the center hole size, unless you know it s off a 4x4

Bottom one is a later wheel than 1964 the rest are early versions, good info here. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/ford-steel-wheel-tech.115542/
