   I’m elated to see the original pinstriping on the wheels. I’ve seen a few wheels with the original pinstriping, and it’s pretty interesting that they went to such detail 65 years ago. I powder coated my wheels a few years ago. One of these days I’ll pinstripe the red wheels the same color as the body (Fiesta Yellow.)

   Those are some interesting wheels and tires on that 2A. I don’t know much about tires available at the time but those seem pretty wide.

   Can anybody make out what’s on the left side of the tailgate on that jeep? Is that a sign?

   Now I see it, they mounted the license plate on the tailgate. Maybe it doesn’t have a rear bumper.

   Justin: I thought the wide tires were unusual for the time period, too.

   Steve: I don’t see a PTO bar off the back. Are there bumperettes on the back?

   Good catch, I am diggin on the rims as well.

   I don’t think they are 16’s. Almost look like smooth sand tires.

   Actually Willys went down to 9.00 13. as an option.

   Could be them.
