Your CJ wheels will probably fit the Ford, but the Ford rims won't fit the
CJ. The offset isn't the same and they'll bind.

Oh, wait. Does your `76 have disk or drums for front brakes? If you have
drums the Fords might indeed fit.

Drums, but I don't even want to put the ford rims on the CJ so I'm not
worried about that. I was just worried about whether or not the rims
on the Jeep would work on the Ford. :-)

Re: Wheel interchangability question.
 

I don't know what the Ford has, but the Jeep has a bolt pattern that is
called 5 on 5.5. There are 5 lug bolts on a 5.5" circle. For comparison
only, the YJ and TJ use a 5 on 4.5.

Your question is, what is the bolt pattern on the Ford?
