Hi Thom I got home and spent a fast couple of days doing honey-does and left for my vacation to SE Asia. I will be home in the middle of April and will...
Thanks William. Those look like standard Dorman part #s that I can get at work (Advance Auto) I just have no way to look up trucks this big. If I can't get...
I don't really know the answer to the reverse threads but my guess is that it is so you will be turning the lug wrench in the same direction when you go to the...
All the lugs on the driver's side of my coach are left handed (reversed). It was pretty common at one time. We have had several old farm trucks that are this...
Repairing an old vehicle is always a challange. It souns like someone ahead of you did not know what they were doing. The left hand threads were used on...
The big trucks still are left on left and right on right, not reversed, I believe it is staying tight thing. As you say cars were right and left but...
Hey, stumbled on some photos of a 250 with a modern paint job. Posted them on R_C3 under paint schemes. Thought one might want to see it since someone did a...
Gotta add $.02 in here... We have an early Revcon 250 (71-#0004). I'll guess your right rear is left handed because someone switched sides when they did...
Ever since I've had my coach, I've had this annoyance with my right turn signal killing the cruise every time I use it. After replacing the rear tail lights...
Which means its time to decide what we want (and can afford)to tackle on the Revcon this year. Its been a long time since we've posted, and I don't even think...
Hmmm, well I now wonder what size the old wheels were... 17", 18", 22" or ??. That would possibly allow using old Ford wheels with new sized tires. I know...
This series of Ford Trucks have mostly 17 inch wheels. There are some 16 inch. I don't know the width. I think they are all either 5 or 6 inches wide. Don't...
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!! I know the split-rim problem from my truck shop days. Nasty things. Also probably not up to the forces a moho...
The later Revcons had 8 lug from factory. I have heard that there is a Nissan truck rim that will work for the flat nose Revcons, but I have no idea which rim...
The bolt pattern for the old Revcons is 5 lugs on an 8 inch circle. It was used by Ford F-5 and F-6 trucks in the late 40's, by Mopar on what is commonly...
Thanks for the replies. I know that the Revcon bolt pattern is a 5 on 8 pattern. I just thought that someone here would know of a wheel that would fit and have...
If you figure out an inexpensive wheel solution be sure to let us all know. Right now I am planning on collecting 6 of the old ford suicide rims, removing the...
I'm unsure why there is so much talk about replacing the 5-lug Budd wheels - we've never had any trouble finding 16.5" tires - I know the 8-lug wheels have...
My problem with the factory rims is that they are too wide. And low profile 16.5 inch tires are difficult to find and very expensive. The shoulders are worn...
My problem is not with the wheels. I am having a hard time finding tires in the 12.0 x 16.5 size that have a "F" load rating. The tires that are on the coach...
