Helping a neighbor with a '69 Ford 750 stake bed truck. Vin indicates an "E" engine code, verified by a block stamp and head cast E. Oil bath air cleaner, governor, hand throttle, hand choke. 210 HP on air cleaner. 4 speed manual transmission and 8050 miles. First started life as a water tanker for a fire department. Brake system unlike any I have seen before. Split rim wheel system. I can find no reference to E engine option, any sources to upgrade wheels, brakes, service manuals would be greatly appreciated.

A lot depends on it it has Datyon rims or if it has say 5 or 6 of 8 or 10 lug bolts. The one center rims are easy to replace with the newer 22.5 rims which bolt right on in place of the split rims. My 1963 Diamond-T has the split rims on it and I put the newer tubeless 22.5 rim on

MD Ford trucks of that year came with Fords FT style engine which is a truck version of the FE car engine 390-428.
F-750 should have a 361 or 391 engine.
There's a web forum called Ford Truck Enthusiasts.
In the fourms section under Super Duty/Heavy Duty theres a listing for Large Truck, search for a thread called If You Need Any Info, he goes by NumberDummy and is a retired Ford parts manager, give him the trucks vin and he can tell you every part the truck came with.

You've got to be kidding! How long have you been around FORD tractors? Kelsey-Hayes was a major wheel supplier to FORD, including N-Series tractors and up with both front rims and original rear hat rims---

Ernie, there is a real high liklihood that you do not have "split rims".. Probably more than half the population incorrectly think any wheel with a lock ring is a 'split rim'. The key question is, where is the "split"? If about half way across the distance between the beads, then "split rim", BUT of the two parts join out near the bead, then it is not a split rim, but rather a lock-ring type wheel.
