    the old 5 holes are near imposible to find these days. just keep looking and.one day you may piece togeter a full set. its ironic how everyone says they love them so alcoa tried reproducing them and nobody bought them so the reproductions are hard to find too

    I've been thinking about getting out of pulling cans and buying a 95 or 96 truck since that won't need to be Repowered or replaced till Jan 1 2016, oh and leasing onto a carrier that runs the I-5 corridor

    I like the idea of Repowering and not replacing

    Nice old Ford...I'd love to get my hands on one for some metro area side work around here, but they're usually rotting in someone's field around these parts.

    After reviewing this thread, I went online and looked around for older trucks. I found MANY that are good runners and well kept in CA going for under $4,000.

    CARB might actually be a good thing for those of us who collect and do not live in Commiefornia..... Now I'd just have to get there and haul them out before my truck is banned lol

    I found a set of 5 holes this weekend. They are not the ribbed version like the ones I put on the Ford though. They are hub pilot. I'm going to have them drilled out and chamfered for stud pilot. Anybody ever done this or have thoughts to whether its a good idea or not?
