well my local shop tanked it and it had more holes then what it was worth to repair it. there gonna re-core it with a three row core more modern style. they could core it with original diamond style but cost more and i'm not trying to restore it.

hey socal, nice unit

i would start another topic and post closeup pics of the rims you have
now - the none spoked ones look to be off a early cj5 or ford but hard to
tell

original rims were kelsey hays either 15 or 16in diameter, my '57 came
with the 16 x 4.5 wide rims for tubed tires, bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5 std for
cj and ford

the PO also have me 4 rims ( 2 styles ) one of which looks like yours, 1 set
was off early cj5 and the other off jeep commando both with large hub hole

here is what the 16 x 4.5 look like :

Posted Image
57 3B : big speedo / Hurricane / YF 938 SD / IAY-4012 / T90 / D18 / 5.375 final drive / open diffs / Firestone 6ply Military NDCC / 12v Delco SI alt / Kayline Top / venting windshield / tub patched / "still fixing leaks one at a time"

89 wrangler : h/duty axles + 5spd / 200+hp 4.2L / arb locked / multiport fuel inj / warn hubs+winch / 1/4 mil km / fishing+trail riding / gets me to work
