I have run a lot of 1 ton dually Fords. I had one with 16.5s. Several things to be careful of, older Fords had coined rims. DO NOT mix coined and uncoined rims! bad things happen, like wheels falling off, sheared lug studs and loads scattered across highways. One truck had coined rims one side, uncoined on the other, no problem. What size tire you install will be another issue. I wanted a high load rating, so went with 235-16s. With a heavy load, the duals rub, so it was necessary to put spacers between the tires. As I understand it, the 16.5s were used where brake drum clearance was a problem. Chevy dump I had needed 16.5s. 16.5s are still around, but you may have to order them. Last set I got went on a 56 Ford 3/4 ton. When I got it, it had all tires different. The spare was a 14, one 15, one 16, one 16.5 and one 19 iirc. Took it to the local Coop for tires. Tire guy had a fit. I didn't know they were unmatched until he had them off. Found a set of 16.5 rims that day for it. Best of luck.

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
