What is the wheel bolt pattern on a 68 F-100

Hi,

I just picked up a 1968 F-100 yesterday and am curious what wheel bolt pattern these old gals use? What width can we use before we run into issues?

She's a 68 f-100 2wd with the 360, pwr steering, manual brakes, 93k orig miles, in pretty decent shape.

I'll post a few pics whenever I actually get a day off from work and I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions as they arise. This is my first Ford so it's all new to me.

Congrats on the new truck - Long bed or short bed?

Bolt Pattern: 5 - 5 1/2"

Thanks for the info.

It's a long-bed, which allowed me to justify it to the wife as a much needed home-depot hauler.

hey SEf100,

welcome to the site!! lots and lots of info here for your truck. 10'' wheels work very well for the rear as long as your trucks not lowerd, then you'll have to get the backspacing right. 10''s can be ran on the front but these trucks have a wider track width in the front and 10'' wheels stick out a bit because of this. a lot of folks will stagger their wheel setup to compensate for this. actually there's a thread going right now on this topic.
