If you look close at the second picture you can see the hub cap mounting nib is on the inside of the dish. Not on the outside like later wheels.

Geeze, what a score. I got 2 of mine in a town about an hour away, 1 from North Carolina, 1 from Tom and a nice guy on Craigslist shipped me one from Wisconsin. It only took 6 months to round all 5 up.

they used 8 on the f250s at least into the mid 1990s, i have no clue as to what is on them since then as i have not owned or worked on anything any newer.

i am just wanting my 250 to have that desired f100 appearance. some 225/70-16s and innie caps and it should kinda take to that look. lol
as for finding this stuff, let's just say i spend a lot of time on craigslist. a lot of time. the best scores seem to be when someone makes a typo and their stuff doesn't show up in the normal searches. lol.

Still eight lug; like every other major manufacturer, they had to "metrify" the pattern and offsets so the late stuff won't interchange. Still not sure what Ford was thinking on the six lug one tons, however????
That and the crappy later SEVEN lug trucks; Ford couldn't even decide if they were "heavy duty F150's or "Light Duty" F250's!

not a math guru but guessing 6 9\16" lugs likely hold more weight\strength than 8 1\2" lugs and can obviously be torqued more

Not sure where the point of equality is; but normally, more slightly smaller fasteners result in more clamping force with less torque. This could certainly become a factor on the side of the road with limited tools available.
Industrial compressor rods offer a good example; the rods were originally secured with one very large "jam" nut requiring a very large tool, and preferably a very large mechanic, to bring to the required torque. The advent of Supernuts changed that! A 3 inch or larger Supernut is ran up by hand, then secured by an abundance of fractional sized cap screws which result in superior clamping with much lower torque and effort.
