Wish I could help Dave. Did one of yours have issues, or are you looking for a spare? I kick myself. A couple years ago I sold off a bunch of my 19.5" wheels and bias tires and included one of your SRW 19.5s as a throw in. I contacted the buyer when you were first looking for your set to see if he'd let go of it. He wasn't interested. Hope somebody speaks up. Stu

No the ones I obtained last year are holding air. Even the one that was pitted bad. I am looking for a spare. I kind of gave up my search as I have moved forward with the restoration. I am just now getting back to looking for a spare. Hopefully will have my truck back on the road this fall and would feel better if I have a spare. Still have AKH Vintage from Washington on the back burner if needed. They still have 3. Also, still very grateful for your help

Probably need a second mortgage to buy from AKH! Glad to help, and impressed you're nearly back on the road. Stu

Thanks for checking Bill. I've pretty much resigned to the fact that I am going to have to get lucky on this search "But you don't know, if you don't ask."

I have priced wheels from AKH and they weren't completely out of line, of course the wheels I was looking for weren't near as hard to come by.

Got a quote for $340 + $40 shipping. Looking to spend 1/3 of that or less for a spare! You got to love the ole supply and demand theory!

I guess in my mind I was thinking anything less than $300 or $250 would be considered reasonable as it would cost that or more to have a new wheel built from scratch.

Mark says you've got delivery worked out. That's great. Here's a couple more 70740s on eBay if somebody needs them bad enough to spend $500 on a pair. Stu

It was easy. And the dealer guy I knew was real fair on price. Must have been meant to be. Stu
