X - Reference for Plain Steel Wheels

[c130puke]

None of my local yards has any EBs, so I need a cross reference for some plain old factory steel wheel. Did the F-150 series trucks use the same wheels? If so, what years? What size wheel is it, and as far as that goes, what size tire was original? I have a '71 EB. Thanks again.

Auto Crafters can help you out on any of those (original) parts. Good luck with you restoration.

I think that just about every ford 1/2 ton van/truck and even later model Broncos used the same wheel up until the mid '80's. It is a very common wheel. But the wheels are a 15 x 5.5 with a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern.<br><br>As far as tire size goes. A 225/75/15 is pretty close to stock size, maybe even a 235/75/15 depending on your factory GVW package. I put 235's on my 68 when I took of the original 7.00-15's and they are a tad wider, but pretty dare close.
