Have a classified ad up as well, just wondering if there's a repro source. I've seen the 1/2 ton size from a couple of different companies...could those work if I added a spacer? I understand that they are too short as is.

Can you still call it a barn find if it's your barn? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 541 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2019 Posts: 541 | I think they are all the same. The depth and diameter of the wheel center is what changes. Jim carter does not specify any different ones for 1/2,3/4,1t.

I have a couple off a passenger rim, which I think are the same as the 1/2 ton size, and they are too short to reach and hold the lip of the hub cap.

I didn’t see that before. I stole mine off the original wheels luckily. They should be fairly simple to make if you have one as a template. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 9 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 9 | I added spacers and did some strategic bending to get the fit. I'm running Ford E-Series rims but they worked. | | |
