Re: wheels
As you guys do your search for these wheels, you'll likely find the Budd part numbers stamped on the wheel's concave side rim lip. Generally opposite the valve stem. Using the above part number chart you can better ensure that you are getting the right wheels.
But since part numbers changed as newer wheels were produced over the years that these were in service, you can also measure the bolt pattern by putting a tape on the extreme edge of one stud and measuring to the middle of the third stud in the rotation. Doing this on an unmounted wheel will require that you visualize where the studs would be in relation to the wheel's stud holes. As said, the measurement is 6 7/8". Stu
