Stock rims n' 'caps



I have 4 stock wheels and 2 (rear) hub caps from my '72 Scout II.  They 
won't work with disc brakes..

So, I'm going to pull 'em off the '72 (along with the 6k mile new 
235/75s) and take 'em with me down to the tire shop and see what type of 
trade I can get for a pair (2) of 31x11.5" Coopers.. two of my BFG Trail 
TAs are darn near bald.. doesn't work that well in this snow!

(And, I could get the BFG MTs for $110 or so at Sam's club, but they 
won't take the 235/75s I want rid of.. and the local BFG dealer wants 
$150 for the 31s!!.. so the $105 Cooper Discoverer STTs will get a 
chance.. run those in back, and my Trail TAs up front)

However, I doubt I'll get anything for the wheels.. hopefully *something* 
for the rubber.

If anyone's doing a restoration and *really* wants those stock wheels.. 
and the two rear hubcaps, I'll hang on to 'em.. 

Otherwise.. C-ya!
