Re: Wheel interchangability question.
If you are near central NJ, I might want one of your old 31s for a spare.

Your CJ wheels will probably fit the Ford, but the Ford rims won't fit the
CJ. The offset isn't the same and they'll bind.
Oh, wait. Does your `76 have disk or drums for front brakes? If you have
drums the Fords might indeed fit.
