Looks like a 5 lug slotted wheel.It doesn't appear to be a Mag(magnesium) so maybe a chrome version.Any markings on them?Maybe there are marks where the tire covers the wheel.

I think Astro used to make a chrome slot like that .

I just threw a pair of those away. I had them on my '36 Ford years ago... Can't tell you who made them tho. If I remember right they weren't very expensive when I bought them.

was a very common generic type of wheel back in the late 60's early 70's i can think of at least 15manufactures that offered then

Paneldeland I did not see any markings on the wheels but then I havnt pulled the tires yet ither. I dont even know if they will fit on my truck or not ither so. Does any one know anything about the tires???

Thanks for the info guys its well appreciated.

The tires were probably made by one of the many companies who made, and still make, tires that don't carry their brand name, like Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone, Kelly-Springfield, etc. I've never heard of that brand, but there were a lot of raised white letter tires offered in the 70's that had that huge-by-large format. Didn't like them then, don't like them as much, now.

As for the wheels, JCPenny, Sears, etc., sold a lot of wheels "on the Revolving Credit Plan".

What is your plan for the wheels and tires, if I may ask?

At this point in time I have no plans for the wheels I only have the two and have always like the raised white letter slotted mag wheels I have hunted for years for a full set of these wheels and my lil brother got these two but could fit the 10" rear wheels in his 95 cougar and by the time he went back for them they was gone. As I said I have NO plans for these wheels if some one offers I may sellem or I may try and refresh them god knows I have enough work to do on the truck itsself.
