Wheel adapters.....Chevy rearend to old Ford rims...???

Hey dudes, My old man is looking for some wheel adapters for his project. He has a '72 Nova rearend and wants to run
'40 ford 5 x 5.5" pattern steelies on it. I recall some discussion about this in past as to who makes them etc. but couldn't find what I was looking for. He doesn't want to get
custom rims if he doesn't have to. Does anyone know who makes adapters for this application or do any of you have a couple of these kicking around that you would part with? We
would be greatful- Thanks!

try these guys, they make all sorts of adapters(bet they'll custom do ya if they ain't got it, have for me in the past) and are top notch.

 

Ansen used to make those plus other combinations and the quality is excellent. I got a set off Ebay so I could adapt the 8" rear to 35 wires. NOS for $25 and change.

 

Farmer,when you find them let me know i need some too same size.i found some here locally in Flo.but the bastards wanted 325.00 for the set of four.i guess the guy thought i was Bling-Blinging.he asked what the application was i told him it was for a 1934 ford pickup he got very quiet he put me on hold for 10 minutes.then i told him it had all chevy stuff on it rear and front drums.i thought that was funny as hell.

 

Talked to a guy at Mooneyes 'n they make 'em . Also try lugnutking@msn.com............909-376-8011. They are in Mira Loma CA. I talked to the owner at a local show cuz I have a Chevy 10 bolt with '35 wires. Set of adapters were 'bout $30 each. I saw what they had ... looked good.

 

thanks, I emailed them.....anyone else, info and such??
thanks

 

I'd get a set of the billit ones, not the cheap cast ones like Trans-dapt (sp?) sells. I bought a set (new) on ebay, there seems to usually be a pretty good selection on there.

 

Ebay is where my pops got mine. NOS and work great. I believe they were around 70.00

 

I have a set I would let go. Perfect. $50

 

I have done the research and found the least expensive. I am going from Ford Pass car to 5 x 5.5. I am also getting 5 x 5.5 to 5 x 5.5. Most places dont do 5 x 5.5. The best price is at wheelsandspinners.com. You will talk to John or 18 yr old John jr. Nice kid. I ordered mine and hope to get them in the next few days. The 5 x 5.5 to 5 x 5.5 will serve as spacers to allow the 1928 to 1935 Ford wire wheels to bolt up to 53-56 Ford pickup front brakes.

i just bought a pair to put old ford 5 on 5-1/2" bolt circle wheels on an 8" ford rear with 5 on 4-1/2" bc from these guys, the price was $110 pair with shipping...and they shipped them the next day after they got the money

they were made from 6061 billet aluminum , and look to be of very high quality...they have a lifetime gaurentee and they claim to have a $1,000,000 product liability insurance on their products

 

65.00 + 65.00 = 130.00 which shipping would be 5.00 to 15.00
from fred at wheeladapters.com 1 pair is usaully quan 2 which would approx be 135.00 I just spoke with him on mon about building mine for me he seems like a class act and would probl ship next day. [ QUOTE ]
