Can I put a “modern” steel wheel on my 16 inch hub ? And where do I find them? Thank you very much! Don

You can't put later model wheels on a '39 because of the wide bolt pattern. You can change the drums on the '39 to '40-48, which are 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern and will accept any Ford wheel. '40 -48 and Ford F100's through '95. Of course the 39 hub caps will not fit the '40 later drums. I would guess that anything is possible, somethings just take longer and cost more money. Custom made wheels can be very costly. Bill 36 5 win delx cpe This message was edited by wmsteed on 1-5-21 @ 9:31 AM

55willys on the HAMB makes wide five to 5 on 5 1/2 adapters. He is has no current supply but he is actively seeking orders. That might be a way to go if he gets enough orders to justify another production run. Bolt on the adapters and then 5 on 5 1/2 wheels. ______________ No signature
