Not having a lot of luck here. Apparently, the 4X4 of that era had 6 hole 15
inch. Seems people that have them aren't prone to part with them. I thought
the 6 hole for cars ended in early fifties or even earlier. Weren't those 16
inch way back then too?

That would be good. Should be an abundance of tires available in similar size
today.

That's been suggested by junk yard dealers I've talked to. Have found only
one at a tire shop here so far. I'd like to buy in pairs though.
I'm also in bad need of front fenders too. Locally I've been quoted $160 Cdn
for the kind (metal) that come in two halves. I've never seen these or done
much body work. Not sure how they go on or what's involved here. I restored
this truck in '80 but I simply welded in patches. I don't want to go this
route again. Fiberglass types are real pricey and I have no knowledge of
suitability or anyone that has experience with these.
I called a place in California and they quoted $90 for what sounded like the
same thing. However shipping and exchange duties etc to Canada will bring the
cost to about the same.
