Thanks David, I saw the half set last night. Did not note the full set you posted up here. If I don't find anything local or at our show, I may go the ebay route.

Ok, I used what I found in the attic to update our page at Documentation/Driveline/Wheels & Tires. And more specifically the tab called Wheel Types, Applications, Codes, etc and below that the Identification Codes tab. Oh, and there's a new picture on the "Pictures" tab. :nabble_smiley_evil:

Ya'll can go there and check it out. And here are some pics to whet your appetite: :nabble_smiley_wink:

Gary, don't forget that there were two styles of 8-spoke wheels. You posted the later version, the earlier version has a deeper dish and the spokes are a little different. I have some of the early version 8-spokes that I've been storing for Chris Lott, so if you'd like I can take a picture of one for the page.

Yes, Shaun, please take some pics. And please include a shot of the code by the valve stem.

For those that haven't "twigged", as the Brits would say, John and I've come to an agreement on the wheels.

And John they are now downstairs, in the way, as you can see. :nabble_smiley_evil:

You might ask how a 74 year old man carried them down the stairs w/o falling, and I'd say "He's smarter than that." :nabble_smiley_evil:

When I built the shop I installed a trap door, an I-beam, and a winch. Works very nicely!

I saw the winch yesterday but missed the trap door. Ingenious! I'd have felt bad you pulling those things out of the attic. Work smarter, not harder ey, Gary!
