she rode into town with me
she had to "get her fingernails done" .....
so i waited in the truck while she was in the nail salon ...
a guy stopped & walked over & wanted to know about the truck...
then some guys at the dairy queen (bought a ice cream cone too)
wanted to know about it....
then when i pumped gas , a young guy asked me about it

I've wondered how the old single wheel F-350 were made (6 or 8 lug, now I know). Thank's for posting the photo. Did you have a hard time finding the wheels or was the truck complete?

the truck was complete
those are 17" "widow makers"
not lock-ring wheels ....
true , 2-piece rims
no local tire shops would touch them
even the big shop that works on semi tires
finally found a shop in a town about 35 miles away that would
they ride like a steel wheeled lumber wagon !
but dont squat under a lot of weight
