wheel swapping

looking to get rid of my turbine wheels but would really love to just trade them for some stock 16 inch wheels for an early 70's 3/4 ton truck. My question is, will all 8 lug wheels fit on my '71 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive truck?

Re: wheel swapping

I believe the bolt pattern is the same between chevy,gmc,ford,and dodge and pretty sure the center hole is the same as well might want to keep an eye on the backspacing though. i'm sure someone else will chime in if i'm wrong. worse case go to the junkyard with a tape measure.
hope this helps

Re: wheel swapping

They'll fit until you get to the 99 + fords. They had a "better idea".

Re: wheel swapping

if you plan on doing heavy loads, you'll want chevy wheels. The center hole is supposed to carry the weight, the lugs simply clamp the wheel on.
