saw this truck for sale. ots got Crown Vic wheels with truck tires. just so you know what your junkyard run would have looked like if you pull that trigger.
As far as the wheels you have on them, new whistles are never good, some small spacers may do some good (idk what size spacers maybe some one with more knowledge will chime in) but sounds to me like the wheels are too close to the caliper. find where the whistle is coming from, front or back, and pull off the wheel and inspect the backside of the wheel and all around the brake components. bright fresh metal will be an indicator of the problem. I say a small spacer would be ok without causing too much stress on bearings and pushing the wheel away from the caliper, AND without lifting the front. BUT this may cause it to rub on the outer fender some. smaller tires may also be an option.......
