Wheels appear to be original - but with severely over diameter "Lug" type tires.

Tractor tires mounted on stock wheels. The ones in front are mounted correctly so that the tires grip well when braking. The ones in back are mounted to provide more traction under power. Whoever mounted the tires knew what they were doing.
 
I think he was lucky to find tractor rims that fitted tightly enough to the Ford rims to weld them on.Looks like a perfect fit.
 
As tall as those tires are that would definitely be a poor man's overdrive theoretically the top speed of that thing is probably about 80 miles an hour if it had the power to turn that speed!!!
 
The guy has a look on his face like, well how do I clean this up? I am taking my wife out tonight.

The driver's door window looks like it slides.
 
I read somewhere that they used that style for either getting through snow and/or to deliver mail in rural areas full of mud and or snow.
