No problem, I guess I should ask what year the 14 bolt is...I think the newer body style 14 bolts may have had the metric pattern.

i have one out of a 1999 1 ton van and it has all the bracing and is on a set of 6.5x8 wheels with no problem.

The metric pattern (8 on 170mm) is a ford super duty thing, all of the 8 lug 14bolts are 8 on 6.5". The later model 14bolts did however use 14mm studs instead of the typical 9/16"s.

Yes, the newer ones have extra ribs on the underside of the pumpkin running front to back and will also have the 14mm studs, and I beleive the drums can slide of of the outside of the hub instead of being installed on the backside via the studs.
