Swamp Dawg:
Ya its nice to have spares, but it good to post this incase somebody else is looking.

the old trucker:

   Does anyone know if the rims from an older J5 will fit the b12?? How about the rims from a SW48 or SW54??

To old trucker,
 
   Hope all is well with you in the east.
   How is your bomber comming along? 
   Any new pics?

  I haven't been doing much lately with it. I was a long while trying to get the nerve up to put the rear engine oil seal & the front seal in the tranny. I am not a mechanic, but I got it done & I feel proud of what I have accomplished to date. I don't feel right asking people to help me on these matters. I have had a lot of verbal help from member "Retmech" & a few local mechanics.
  I want to see what work I can do by myself before getting others help. I got to take my time on account of the ol' ticker. The motor & trans is ready to put in place after I put a couple of bomber rims on to help carry the weight better. I'm hoping to bring a few parts to the blaster this week like, 3 rims, gas pedal, starter pedal & the big half moon gear that's used on the steering. . If you folks want something to do to help me you all can help me with the measurements for the framing. I probably could figure it out when I get the templates for the sides & go by them. It's like they say, a picture says it all.
  Anyway I have a very old chair that I have to re glue for a neighbour of mine, then back at the old beauty again.  Slow "n" easy does it.
       
   The Old Trucker is determined to    " GET ER' DONE"   

the old trucker:

   I am going to look at a few old rims from an old J5 tomorrow. According to Guy Pepin @ the museum he told me the rims from a 1960 & earlier were the same as the bomber. I was told that the ones I will look at have the small bearing in front.
    If I were to use the rim from a newer J5 & had plugs made for the front, can you still use the caps made for them ??
