If you mean are they TRaKable then yes they are.

If you mean in 1:1 scale would they fit a real truck then yes, I don't believe Ford changed its bolt patterns a lot so car wheels ought to fit a half ton pick up - bigger ones may have had 6 bolt patterns.

As for tyres, that's a bit more tricky as there aren't many wider tyres other than the Polyglas GT ones that came in everything and always seem to be a 70s era tyre to me - I may be wrong on that. Same with the Rally GTs that came in everything.

AMT did do some wider tyres in some of their kits that look okay, I think the ones in the '67 Mustang look pretty good. They're the ones with a shallow groove in the sidewall, put some white or red paint in there and they look quite decent.

Hope that helps, or have I misunderstood your question?

Those in the 67 Mustang sound good. Wanted something Wide but Trackable. 8.50 X 15 in 1 to 1. Thanks.

Glad to help. Maybe someone here could take some photos of a couple of suitable tyres?

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: it has been a bit slow, but i come everyday. i am so close to being able to build and hope that things pick up again i miss this place! Nov 9, 2024 22:04:22 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I paid up three more years on fotki, it's been 20yrs already! Nov 11, 2024 23:16:53 GMT -5

Mr. Metallic: it's been about that long for me too Bob Nov 15, 2024 7:55:05 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Everything on FB is ephemeral. I'm sure it still exists, but finding it is near impossible if it was posted in a group. I had an idea bumping around in my head and realized it was because of someone's build here, and I found the thread to re-read through Nov 27, 2024 12:31:14 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Good luck finding anything more than a few days old on a FB group. Nov 27, 2024 12:31:44 GMT -5
