Wheels
Was going to order new Aluminum wheels for the 68 today, but the ones I wanted only had 3 available. 8 lug. Well the shop found one like the ones I have. One of mine is out of round. So I ordered the one chromey for $110. Saved me over $1200. for now. The pic is what I have now. I will put the new one on and use the slightly out of round on the spare.

May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.

Re: Wheels
I think those are the right wheels for the look of your truck, John. They say "I'm a man's truck!"

Re: Wheels
Ditto, I decided to lock my truck into the early '80's time frame as far as looks go. Chrome wagon wheels look good, especially on a F-250.
Last night I stopped at Tractor Supply to get some dog food and had to park at the end of a isle because all the spaces were taken by folks stopping at the Mexican place for 5/5. While checking out saw a guy taking pictures of the truck.

Re: Wheels
Thanks for the support guys.
I am one of those people that carry the camera with 30X zoom for the truck pics.
I am happy with my decision. Going to clean em up real shinny and then clear coat them. Maybe it will help with the surface rust that the moisture causes. (dog pee 
) Going to solve the dog pee issue with the new carport and a fence/Gate around it. I have a love/hate relationship with dogs. Love them, but hate their pee on my wheels. 
I tell em that I don't pee on your dog house so don't pee on my wheels. Of course I can't speak Dogenesse so they don't understand me.
