"Outies".. 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern ford pickup wheels used from mid '65- mid 80's i believe.
I have a set of 4 (I think) in my back yard, where are you?

Not close enough to justify shipping. check your local yards, they are common as houseflys

Any 66 to 72 stock ford truck wheel will be correct for drum drum brakes. I have also seen on stock trucks some 16" 5 on 5.5" wheels too, pilfered from F100 four wheel drives.
If you have discs then the reliefed wheels will be needed. 72 to 96.
Common as fleas as JC says.
The truck will also use the spinner bar type poverty hub cap in white, silver or stainless for a standard cab or a full face type being reproduced by Dennis Carpenter for a custom cab.

But withone difference JC the original early style wheels won't work with disc brakes and are slightly different in the rim section, you can tell the difference e if you put then side by side.

mine had 16inch on 5x5.5 but like the guys said if your going to use disk brakes you cant use original wheels. YOu need later models for that. Mike
