yes.

99+ super duties are the only ones that are different. they went to a larger pattern and hub centric wheels. they are easy to spot because the wheels are flat where the lug nuts sit.

I thought that you had to machine out the center of the H2 wheel for it to fit the hub on a Ford?

that may be true, but I know for a fact that the bolt pattern is right. just run hummer wheels on the back.

You better check the stud size too. Looks like the old fords used 1/2" studs and the H2's use 9/16" studs so you may have to drill the hubs out and get new studs. Look here.

H2's are standard chevy 8 lugs, so you will probably have the same issues.

IIRC they are the same except for the hubs, but that means that you will still have the stud problem using Dodge wheels on the older Ford.
