    I had given up on finding an original set of wheels to put my 'dog dish' hubcaps on the Jeepster. (I know the mid '70s caps fit on ford wheels, but I can't find more than 1 or 2 of the '70s caps.) I bought the axles from under 2 postals in the boneyard for the brakes and spare rears for the 'ster. One was a '74 and the other a '76. Both had non-finned 11" drums. When I got home with them I noticed the wheels looked 'different'. Turns out the Kaiser era caps are a perfect fit.
