Hope everyone is safe!! I'm am not real good with my computer skills. I called myself doing a search but........ I have question. Did Ford ever make ,or is there a repo wheel that has inside nubs, That a 48-50 ford P.U. hub cap will/would fit. The kind of cap that has F O R D. In block letters. I need 14 inch to fit a lowered 64 falcon. Thanks for your time . please be safe.
They don’t use a stock Ford hub cap and use one they have made but Wheelsmith in Corona, California make a lot of interesting wheels. They made these 18’s for my F-150.
The short answer is no. In 1949 Ford p***enger cars went to the 5x4.5" bolt pattern and outside nubs for the the hubcaps. Ford Pickups retained the inside nub until 1965.
the one i have does use the stock ford hubcap. looks exactly like a 16" 40ish ford wheel, or a 15" merc wheel, but 14" tire mounted on it now. on a trailer i bought for the 34 rear axle used. i posted a pic of it here a while back when this was discussed before
Like these. They were made in the 80's, have dual bolt pattern, 4-1/2 & 4-3/4 bolt circle. They used the same center as the rear, just machined it down, to fit a 14" hoop.
I will give wheelsmith a call. I love the wheels with the vents, but cant be picky. thanks for the responses.
They make them with and without the vents. Their internet site is pretty good. I’ve been friends with the owner for a while and found them ez to work with.. good luck, I hope they can help..
