    I'm wondering if anyone knows the make of the rear wheels on this FED. It's for sale at a very reasonable price and I'm considering picking it up as a donor car. But then again, it may make a good cackle car.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Is there any value in them, if the condition is good?

    Well, I'm going to pick up the hot rod tonight. It also has an early Olds Mickey Thompson center section. If I'm unable to update the ch***is to get a current certification, I'll see if someone is interested in it as a cackle car.

    Can't remember a four windowed Halibrand that's bigger than 12" wheel. I think they are Palamedies. (I probably spelled that wrong)
