I notice I have stock 16.5 wheels on my 72 F350 (2wd) is this because of the front disc brakes or will 16" fit?

Just guessing, but I would say that 16" should fit. Seems these trucks cam with either 16 or 16.5. Maybe depending on the MGW?

Bigger brakes then on the bigger GVW?? mine is 8000lb and looks like there are heavier versions.

if you have a 16 put it on there and see if it will fit and clear the disc caliper. i think it will.

My '72 F-350 DRW has a GVW of 10K and has 16's on it.
However i still have front drums

picking up a sterling 10.25 so know that 16" will fit that and have the dana44 front so for now and will be getting a dynatrac prorock 60 for the front. Im in the air want 16" with 35 tires but think maybe an 18" with 35" with the weight of the camper in the back less sidwall with the 18" so wont be as squishy...

you probably have the same caliper as I have and if so 16 will fit
