Dave,

Any interest in doing a wire wheel conversion?

These are professionally restored wheels with brand new correct size  
tires, which are impossible to find anymore. Includes hubs, knock-offs  
and all the brake stuff too.

I really need a set of good condition door handles for a 1960 Morris 
pickup. Good chrome is nice, but an uncracked mounting plate that has 
all three mounting holes intact is crucial.

I'm certain the front handles from a 4-door will work as well, if anyone 
has a set of those.
