Re: Hickey wheels
Sounds like a good find. I love finding parts and accessories from all those companies of the era. I used to get the magazines,order the catalogs,mail a money order,and wait for the shipment. The process took a minimum of a few weeks,generally. Now we put it in the cart and can have it within a few days...but these guys are gone! In '77 I ordered a set of 37/14.50-16.5 Armstrong Extra Tractions from Dick Cepek fully mounted and balanced on wagon wheels from what turned out to be the first batch. I think I waited 6 months! But,I was the first around here to have tires over 12-16.5 (32" back then). Desert Dynamics was another one. They sold much of the same stuff Hickey did. A lot of what Hickey sold they made.
