Well there you go. Since it runs good for you, everything's just dandy. Not a thing to worry about.

They are easier to change. Also, the wheels themselves are much thicker metal than the one piece wheels. They are heavy duty, like the rest of the truck.

Yeah, now THAT is dangerous. And stupid.

They certainly can be problematic, but these are in excellent condition. Once the rings are installed and locked all the way around, it is impossible for them to come off. Also these are not split rims. Split rims are exactly as the name implies. The wheel unbolts in the center into two...

Oh yeah, they can tear some stuff up. Kill hell outta you if you ain't careful.

I am not sure when Ford stopped using lock rings. I would think 1975 would be close. Although some of the larger medium duty trucks still use them today. I never have used a cage. I use a length of chain and a padlock with a long air hose.

Gladys, my 75 F250 has a mismatched set of factory 16" wheels. Not only that, but ALL FIVE are incorrect for the truck. I guess I am OCD about some things and that's one of them. She originally came with those 16" lock ring type wheels. Despite what people say about them, they are quite safe if...

Pretty much the attitude I have. If I can find something reasonable, I will. I plan on building it as is to begin with. Not gonna let it hold me up, I can hang a front axle and transfer case in it anytime. The Dodge stuff is really tough to find anyway.

Here is my bumper. Hope yall like it. When it's done, it will be mounted to a piece of similarly shaped 1/4 plate to help facilitate using the stock bumper brackets to mount it. The picture on the right was taken right after I welded it together. It was real hard for me as a formerly certified...

That's a good one. I ran out of daylight today to get a good picture of the bumper but I will post one tomorrow.

Opinions vary. Lots of people on the A bodies site disagree with my building techniques. Probably why I'm not going back. I guess they've always had the good fortune to buy nothing but the newest and most up to date stuff. Every build I've ever done has had to be a budget build, or I wasn't able...

The bumper itself. I am going to mount them on a piece of 1/4" plate but I have already nastily welded them together like I want them and they have been outside rusting for months. I will get a pic of two shortly.

Thanks.

Is there a reason this site runs so much slower than FABO? Is there something on my end I might can do to improve it?

Exactly. Probably an NP205.

Thanks for asking. I haven't done much more. I did convert from power to a manual steering box, as I will not have the room for a power steering pump. The truck is going to be very light anyway, so I don't think it will pose a problem. I did start on a front bumper involving a set of 383...

Throwin a 4wd axle under the front won't change the look very much at all.

Thought I would come here and ask since this is the truck place. I am thinking of converting my rat truck project to a 4WD. It is currently on an 83 D150 chassis that I put a Dana 70 dually rear axle under and installed aall of the one ton front suspension. All of the swap work is done. It is...

Yeah me and you both. Just kinda worked out that I kept it. And get this.......guess what motor mounts I am using? Remember that whole set of truck 318 mounts you sent me? Yeah. Those. All I had to do was saw one corner hole off the driver's side mount on the rear side and move it to the front...

There will be none. This is a fenderless build with the radiator support and shroud out front. I found a radiator shroud from a 1925 Durant Motors Star Car locally in a antique store. 15 bucks. It's even chrome.....although well surface rusted and ratted just right. I do plan on a removable...
