I bought a 1967 Galaxie conv. When I got it home I found that the frame had rot. I can patch it, but I would have to seporate the frame from the body. I thougth it would be on the road sooner if I find a donor frame and just do a swap.
I found a 1967 fast back as the donor. It has Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes and a better suspension than the conv frame. The donor came with four 15 inch wheels (no spare). Three wheels have a 4 inch back spacing with the markings: KW, 66, 5, and some kind of logo (possibly ford). The other wheel has a 3 7/8 backing spacing and the markings: K2 over 8, D, 5, and TC over 16.
So my question is does any one know if there should have been five of the KW wheels or should it have been three KW and two K2.
Next question, of course, is where can I find the needed wheel(s)?
