I am now in the market for a set for a 1952 F6. My truck is large (14 ft of frame behind the cab) so I want something that is rated to carry the load. Do you have any more wheels or know of any more? The ones in that CL ad looked great.

Glad that worked for you. Long drive but you saved money. Stu

Yes, I do have a couple sets here in Illinois. The wheels are each rated for 2500 lbs iirc, so that's 15000 lb total capacity. If you are using the truck commercially that might be slightly below an F-6's max when fitted originally with the optional 8.25" x 20" wheels/tires. If not used commercially you should be fine. Many F-6s have been set up with the 19.5s.

If you've read through this thread you know they will have a shorter diameter when fitted with 8R19.5" tires. These are 33.5" tall vs 37" or 38" for the original 7.50" or 8.25" x 20"s respectively. This will naturally reduce top road speed. Stu

I need a set to replace my split rims
 

Hello,

Can you let me know how much for a set? I need to replace the 20" split rims I currently have.

Thanks!

The cost to you is $85 each plus the $16 each it costs me to have tires pulled and recycled. Total for a set of six is $606. A bigger issue I fear is shipping to Tucson. I ship by truck via R&L Carriers. They shrink wrap them to a skid for safe transit. A 4' x 4' skid with six wheels weighs about 325 lbs. I drop them at their Springfield, IL, depot and generally suggest depot pickup at your end to save money. I'd suggest you call their toll free number to get a quote. It is (800)543-5589. They ship COD which keeps me out of that. They will give you a "quote number" that I would need along with your name, address, and phone to fill out the Bill of Lading.

Before going further I think you should be able to find a set nearer to you. I'll see what I can find on CL and suggest you check yards for Budd 19.5" x 6", 5 x 8" pattern, Budd #89340 motor home tubeless wheels. Stu

Stu i have a friend looking for these wheels. He doesnt get on fte much do you have a email or number i could give him to contact you

Sure. Start with email please at stu_sandymcmillan at sbcglobal dot net. I'll give the phone number to him in reply email. Thx. Stu

I just got a text from our son Michael that he has reconnected with the yard operator and has a set of seven #89340s on hand in Portland. Stu

Good to know

Hoping I can find some of these wheels through this old post.

Yes, our son Michael has the set I mentioned above. He lives up in Portland, and I see you are in CA. He can ship via R&L Carriers as described on the earlier pages of this thread. If you have interest please email me at the above email address. Thanks. Stu

22.5 rims
 

I just bought a '69 F-600 with a dump bed (used to be a fire truck). I'm restoring it and I want to find 22.5 wheels for it. It still has the 5 lug pattern 20 inch rims.
Anyone know what I need to do to get this done?

I don't have any 22.5s but will check with a few friends that might have some. I'll come back here to comment when I hear back from them. Stu

Many, Many thanks! I'm new here but an old dog when it comes to workin' on old trucks. I'm a former heavy equip, diesel engine mechanic but went into law enforcement in the '80s. Retired now and just bought this truck to haul my bobcat and do tree work and totally enjoying restoring it! (except for the old man aches and pains)
Again, thanks for checking around

Here's a pair on eBay to get you started on a set. My buddy says he and the seller will be in TN for F-100 Nationals and could probably help with deliver. Still need to hear back from another guy. Stu
