Nobody spoke up wanting the set (free if you cover boxing & shipping). So, I'm letting 1 go to someone wanting it for their spare and they are covering shipping. If anyone else wants one, let me know. If they are still here in a week I'll call the scrap guy to come get them.
I have 4 OEM wheels with the hubcap tabs on them off of my 1971 (build date Dec '70) FJ40 Land Cruiser if someone wants them. If not, I'll have the scrap man come and get them. They are riveted, and @cruisermatt let me know they would not clear the disc brake stuff if I ever want to do front disc brakes (and rotate tires), and I definitely want to do that some day and A/C. So I ran over to cruisermatt's and picked up 4 OEM welded ones. Oddly enough, my spare was welded. I've heard '71 was the year they were making that switch. These would need to be sand or media blasted (a couple of local places do that for $30 each, so I'm sure it wouldn't cost you much). Every time the tire machine broke the bead seal a cloud would puff out, and it's the first time since I was a kid seeing inner tubes inside a tire (all 5 had them). I was able to wire brush 1 to see the '71 date code. After a few minutes of trying to expose the date code on the other 3 I decided it's too hot & humid, and I've had too many back surgeries. I'm not really looking to make money on them. If someone wants to cover the cost of having UPS (or whoever you prefer) box them up and ship them and a couple bucks for gas, that's good enough for me.
