My F8 came with the 13 inch rims that have been hacked and welded into 16 inch rims, not leaving me much to work with to run the 9.00x13 tires. After some research and planning I have decided to marry the remains of the 13 inch rim to a new 15 inch trailer rim.

Torches come in handy to get everything apart

Both halves removed, as you can seen the out half of the rim is missing the outer lip

I have a conundrum that I am looking to build a vehicle build on the Ford 11/12 cab F8, I already have the base vehicle to begin. The issue is the bodies were build in the Uk by two coach companies Mulliner and Stewart & Ardern. Is there anyway to find out if either of these companies kept the blueprints/plan even if these companies have been absorbed or gone out of business?

My name is Neil Yeo, currently residing in Manitoba, Canada. I have been surrounded by military vehicles all my life thanks to my fathers obsession and just recently acquired my first military vehicle, a 1940 Ford F8.
