19 1/2 inch wheels
19 1/2 inch wheels
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. And now for my first question.
I have a 1965 "Facts and Figures" manual for my truck, its a reprint, but I gotta think most of what is in there is accurate. Anyway, listed under the F250 section, it has the standard wheel size of 7x16, and then a whole bunch of optional sizes, including a 17 inch on up to a 19 1/2 inch wheel!
Has anyone ever heard of such a wheel, and if so had any luck trying to find a set? I have searched the web, and the only reference to it seems to be just the one in my manual at home. Its like they dont really exist.
I sure would like a set!

Hi John,
Nice to "see" you here.
Check this picture out of this '59. These, to me look much bigger than the 16's. I am assuming they are the optional, larger, wheels.
Okay..... I dont know how to post a picture here...
How about a link:

Are there any pics of the 19 1/2 wheels on a truck? I'd love to see what one looks like.

If it starts to rain, they'll tax the splash.
If you want to fish, they'll tax the bass.
If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!

ummm, yeah...
Not quite what I had in mind.
You know, I commited a sin and surfed on over to a very cool Dodge Power Wagon site (what can I say, it was my first truck) and being that they have the same axles our Fords have, maybe I can use some of there resources to find me a set of wheels.
Lets see how far I can get with this.

That is just WRONG Slickfan, lol. I have always thought the early 80s Flaresides were nice looking trucks, what a way to ruin one.
