Re: Are these “widow maker” wheels?
For those that are concerned about using their "widowmaker wheels" as some of the older Ford trucks had, here is an option that worked for me. On the 49 Mercury M68, with the 17 inch wheels, I was able to bolt on the same size wheel from a similar vintage GMC truck. Even the original Mercury hub caps fit the GMC wheels. Plus the GMC wheels have the removable lock ring unlike the Fords wheels. In the pictures the Mercury wheel is red. The GMC wheel is the green one.
