Sorry Brian;
Maybe it was the 5 on 5-1/2 pattern that I remember. I know that there was
an Imperial bolt patern that was the same as a Ford truck, but I think that
the Ford was a one ton model. Now that I remember I think that it was the
1957 to 66s that had this interchange. I also think that there was a G.M.C
truck that used the same bolt pattern, but don't quote me on that. If Buick
rims are more applicable to the needs of the 67' owners thats even better
news as Tristan would stand a better chance of finding after market Buick
rims. All things considered I should do some investigation and report back
to the list. Not only would it be handy for spare wheel but possibly spare
brake drums.
Best Regards

P.S I still think that the Supra conversion is better then ripping the front
end apart to use C-body brake parts.
