Ford rims on Chevy axles?

[Tatraplan]

Will the rims from a Ford Econoline van fit the
axles of my Chevy C20? (8-bolt with SF rear)

Depends on the year of the Ford wheels. Chevy uses 8 on 6.5" bolt patterns in 20s and 30s, Ford uses or used the same pattern in most 250s and 350s but there were some trucks that used a metric pattern that's close but not the same. In all likelihood the bolt patterns are the same, but the hub opening in the wheel center may or may not be. This isn't too hard to take care of with a die grinder if necessary.

I think for went metric BP when the 250/superduty hit the market, perhaps 2000?
