'72 F-350 wheel Questions

Post by Flatbed tun »

I have a 1972 f-350 dually I'm fixing up and I bought a set of wheel simulators the bad thing is I have two piece wheels with the band and they won't fit :cry: so my question is will 1985 ford dually wheels (tubeless) fit my '72? If not what years will?

should fit just fine. My '88 F-350 uses the same wheels that my '72 F-250 (converted to dually rear) uses.

yes but you may need the new lug nuts some or most use a newer flange stile lug nut you can tell by if the rims lug holes have a 45 dagree taper they use taper lug nuts and if it a flat hole they take the newer lug nut.
