Actually,
I'll call a larger recycling business in this neck of the woods and go about the search process with a bit more organization in place this time. Driving around with no real clear plan - one trip is an optimum scenario to find wheels - gets pricy these days. gasoline prices still climbing :shock:

I fondly recall when $70 would drive my new 1969 Ford Fairlane, 302 engine w/automatic transmission, to California, and!, a little ways back to central NY state.

gotta go!

Great thread! Will be watching till the end.
Fairlane was a nice ride back in day.
I had at one time a Galaxie 500 390, 4 speed.

Great times indeed. In 69' I was at Woodstock, all three days plus. Grew up in that area.
It was the best of times and the worst of times. Very happy to have grown up in that era.

I've got some aluminum chevy truck rims you could have for the cost of shipping, got both 5 and 6 bolt pattern rims and they would probly need paint as the clear is pealing a little. Fairly common truck rims so you could probly find the same thing at your local pick and pull for less then the cost of shipping that far but let me know if your interested

great build thread GLT!
I remember those S-10 stock alloy wheels.
IMHO they would look great.. take them somewhere & have 'em polished.
