Looks like a good project, welcome aboard. :welcome:

Don't know an answer to the wagon wheel question, though. :P
This truck was on eGouge back in January. They're 20's, but I don't know the backspacing.

wave.gif welcome.gif Welcome to the group here at Slick 60's :welcome: :thumright:

My 66 has a 385 series engine. It's a 460 also. I run it for fun. It's set up for the 1/4 mile & the street. . . . I'm content with it. :cheers: :steering:

My 66 has a 385 series engine. It's a 460 also. I run it for 15 MPG. I'm content with it.

All Ford too!
‘86 460 bored 60 over with stock '86 heads - no porting :woohoo:
'77 F-250 460 engine perches and mounts
'69 straight up cam gears, Cloyes double roller with RV type cam
Edelbrock Performer (not RPM) intake and 1470 750 CFM carb on a 1" phenolic spacer :woohoo: :woohoo:
'76 Duraspark II ignition
Stock aftermarket manifolds with a 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust (plain mufflers); copper gaskets
'93 serpentine belt brackets and pulleys :woohoo:
'78 power steering pump, hoses with ’93 PS pulley
'76 power steering box :steering: :steering:
’76 power steering pitman arm
’92 power steering cooler, mounted in the frame
'70 steering column
'66 radiator (re-cored)
'66 alternator with '93 serpentine pulley and fan
'86 water pump
'86 fan clutch with '77 7-blade fan
'83 C-6 from an '83 F-350 fifth wheeler, with '77 C-6 linkage (internal shift rod and kickdown)
2.75 rear end :woohoo:
'83 stock rear sump oil pan, with stock oil pump, pickup tube and dipstick (includes main bearing bolt with stud to hold pickup in place)
Includes '93 A/C compressor, but A/C is not installed. (Needed for the serpentine belts.)
’76 F-150 3-inch rear brakes

The only modifications I had to make were:
Fabricate an accelerator cable bracket by combining an FE one with a 385 one.
Shorten the front driveshaft to adapt to the C-6 (with a conversion joint)
Change the C-6 internal shift linkage from a ’68 – ’79 C-6.
