    Pretty sure those Tacoma Wheels were an early 70's thing. Around the resto-rod era. I doubt they were the wheels used on that T. Can you see an early Ford hubcap on the T? I can't.

    Hey, BT;
    The 'fur' on the body edges looks a whole lot like the "fleece" that handicap folks use on the bed, or on a w'chair seat, if they're not using a RoHo. It's maybe 1" +/- in thickness. I've seen (had) lining like that in a Western Montana -style jacket. Don't remember the 'fur' lining being quite that long, jacket got pitched as it was heavy, warm, & didn't cover chest/neck. Anyways, try hospital supply, or handicap-type suppliers. They might have some scrap or can direct you to the mfgr. I've only seen it in white. My mom n youngest brother always called it (tongue-in-cheek) "sheeps-fur" . I suppose it could be cut-down-n-matted mop material. ???

    Tractor Supply might be able to help you out with the front tires :)
