Stock wheels?

[nadams]

I just bought this truck and I am wondering if anyone can tell if these are the stock wheels? The guy I bought this from said it came to him with some rice burner wheels with bald tires and a set in the bed that is now on the truck.

those look like they came of a dent side. look at the centers they are octagon shaped. and they are silver and not white.

These are the wheels that came on my buddies 68. They are now on my truck because he didn't like them. I cleaned them up and painted them, probably not the correct white. Got the brand new tires for free also.

In the 60s I believe Ford date stamped their wheels in a similar fashion that they date stamped their engines and other cast engine and driveline parts.

In the one picture of your wheel I can see what looks like an M in one section between the lugnut holes, in another section of the wheel I can see a 27 and in another I can see what looks like K and 1 and 89. I am thinking the K 1 and 89 would be the date code for the wheel if I am actually seeing the stamp correctly (K=10th month or October, the 1=the 1st day of the month and the 89=1989).

In the 60s I believe Ford used the digit of the year and the letter from the month.
