    How much is 2 milk truck or high clearance worth on todays market.
    18 by 4.5 or 5 and 5 x 5.5 ( true Ford, not Chevys fixed ) with nice edges, no pittings, straight. Can they be found ?

    I have a buddy who bought 2 and is having them re-hooped and the bolt pattern changed to 5 x 5.5, and he will be in around $2K for the pair. The guy doing the modifications is here on the HAMB, and I think he goes by the wheel kid, or something like that. Definitely heard his name dropped before, but haven't used him. Sometimes you can find the aftermarket aluminum ones for sale, but they're the same price.

    To help your search efforts, include Divco because they were the milktruck manufacturer.

    Most of the lug holes a ****** up requiring 1” od lug nuts. Because of that I would make sure your center is fitting the hub. If not, have rings made.

    I'm only into Divcos/Fords ( not Chevys to fit Fords )
    Again, if anyone has 2 of them contact me.
    I can pay over 3K if 2 fine ones and I prefere 5" wide ( or 4.5" and over.
    But seems very hard to find, years since I saw something out on internet by search.
