Nice step side F150
The wheels and tires have been urbanized, but I love the car. I followed off my route hoping to get a picture.
I think it's a 1973.

Either way, it looks nice; especially for the period from which it hails.
I agree about the original Buick wheels. But I do tolerate folks who go to the chromes and mags that are typical of what people would use to "soup" up a car in those days, if they could afford them.
The only wheels neater are the 6-lug Pontiac wheels. I'm not sure of the years for those. But I hope someone else is and will post them.
I'm not sure if these are the Pontiac wheels or not. They have 8 lugs.

What, on a Cougar?

I always liked that Buick 5-spoke magnum wheel (or whatever they called it...Mopar had a similar style a few years called "Magnum"). And it looks really sharp on that '75 LeSabre wagon.

And, for some reason, the center cap on the Delta 88s was broader, and spread out to cover the lug nuts, which I thought looked odd.
I think about the closest thing to a Rally wheel I might have seen on an Olds in the 5x5 pattern was actually a Buick mag, with Olds center caps? At least, that's sticking in my mind. For some reason, I'm also getting a mental image of an 80's Delta 88 wagon using the Buick Rally wheel that was kind of common on Electras and Estate Wagons in that timeframe, but just with an Olds center cap?

Olds also copied the other Buick wheel into the 80s early 90s

Olds did offer a rally wheel of sorts on the big cars in a 5x5" pattern in '71 and '72 but it was a unique wheel they called the SS IV.

As @tjc78 noted, Olds and Buick wagons in the last few years of the downsized square-rigger era up to 1990 shared an alloy wheel design with unique center caps for each make. These were handsome wheels.

I love the looks of them, but I'd actually pick the Buick wheels over them. That Buick wheel has to be the longevity king, as I believe they were used from '64-87--maybe even longer as I think the full-size Estate Wagon was built after that.
Those Pontiac eight-lug wheels could not be had with disc brakes, as the hub was part of the brake drum IIRC.
EDIT: Sorry, I see some of my points have already been made here.
Car looks perfect.

This one has some issues that make me go "hmmm" like the fitment of both rear quarter windows. I know wiper switches for these are likely made of unobtainium but the solution chosen here would concern me. There are enough little things that I would be hesitant, but OTOH, you do not find these very often.
