    COOL. Nice to see another one in NZ, I love Hamish’s one known as Tetnus, I have a ‘59 ranch wagon so similar but different.

    Pop some pics up if you can

    I believe that the Merc has a 5" bolt pattern.

    They are 5 on 5, as in 5 lug with 5 inch diameter bolt hole spacing. The same year Ford would be 5 on 4.5". Luckily there are a lot of options for 5 on 5" wheels, lots of GM cars also used this pattern, like Cadillac and full size Oldsmobile, Buick and Pontiacs of the same era.
