I use the Photos program in Windows to reduce the file size of photos to 600 x 800 pixels or medium size for attaching to e-mails usually works for me. I save them as .jpg files. There are many other ways to do it, but this is what works for me. Good luck with your photos.

Not sure if this will work for you Frank, but a friend of mine
needed wheels for an old truck (not sure of the brand anymore)
and he went to a salvage yard that had lots of motor homes
that were there for salvage. He got a nice set of big wheels
with very nice tires, all for $300....

Frank, you might post your question on the Early V-8 forum, there are several knowledgeable truck guys on that forum that are pretty familiar with the wheels for the larger Ford trucks. Good luck with your search.

Which team? The last competition I was at was in Freeport, in 2013. My uncle used to drive the A truck for Bay Shore.
