Default Re: 1951 Ford Split Rims

Yet to be determined here is whether Bob’s 1951 truck has widow maker RH-5° wheels or the safer locking side ring style wheels. Most likely the truck is not an F-1 or F-2, which would have one piece drop center wheels, so it is a near 100% chance that Bob has widow makers. It is malpractice to give him, a rank novice, service advise on wheels that no professional shop will touch anymore.

Once Bob has helped us identify the type wheels he has, and provided important details about the truck, we can provide him guidance on safe(r) wheel options. Stu
