[DeTomaso] 6328 - Ready for Phase II

Fri Jun 5 00:02:30 EDT 2020

I respectfully have to disagree with with the statement that Ford trucks used the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern .... 5 on 4.5 Ford cars started that pattern in 1949 in both 15s and 16s..and yes they will fit the Pantera .. At present I own dozens of Ford wheels... the 51 Plymouth used that pattern ... (I believe I have a set of International wheels on a 71 Torino... not positive).... The 48 and later Ford pickups used the same pattern as the 48 Ford car wheels and kept that pattern at least through 69 I believe (which is the same as a 14" 1958  Chrysler Imperial pattern.. if I remember correctly.  I ran 14" wheels on a 51 Ford Panel Truck back in ~73)

 Every Ford/Lincoln car, truck, van etc for the past 60-70 years that has five lugs uses the same bolt pattern. Shared with Dodge too I think?

 Mike,

Hopefully you have some old junk Ford truck wheels or something to put on the car while it is in the shop? The wheels you have are irreplaceable. You don’t want them thrashed and you certainly don’t want them lost or stolen.
