409biscayne 9.75 x 16.5 8-lugs
409, Here are the wheels that I will run on my Longhorn. The widest stock wheel in '68 was 8.25 x 16.5. These must have been aftermarket since they are 9.75 x 16.5. They have the hubcap clips and have that funky step that looks like it was made for a trim ring but will not hold a ring due to the slope. I tried!!!! Here is a pic of mine unfinished and then powder coated with the stock 3/4 ton hubcap. I get to Colville frequently and could stop by Spokane and look at what you have. I could even bring one of my wheels along. I won't put them on the truck until I have all four. They will take a 33 x 12.5 x 16.5 tire and will fit on a 2 wheel drive 3.4 ton truck.

Re: 409biscayne 9.75 x 16.5 8-lugs
Andy, I get that feeling all the time. The one that hurts worse is the recycling guy that tells me "I just threw some away because nobody wanted them!" I did run into one guy at the Monroe meet that claims to have some...I am waiting on a phone call but not holding my breath. In the meantime I found another set of Ansen slots...whooo hoooo! Pics later today.

Re: 409biscayne 9.75 x 16.5 8-lugs
qksilver...thanks, but the key is 9.75" wide...very rare. I have two sets of stock splits and one set of Ansen slots (9.75" wide as well) and am picking up another set this evening so I am good there. I am sure someone will be interested in that Ansen style wheel. Heck I am interested if it is 9.75" wide since I can always use a spare. You never know when the wife is going to "curb" one...LOL!
