I got a mind like a steel trap, all rusty.  Good to know I can remember something once in awhile.

Update - Picked up one from a late model Lincoln Town Car last night locally at Gundie’s auto recycling.  One of the larger and better wrecking yards in the NW - Ordered over the phone from their Portland yard, and it was at their local Graham yard the next day for pick-up.  Half the cost of any I saw listed on eBay to boot.  The Goodyear tire still has the nubbies.

 

Nearly same dia as the tires I am running.  14 pounds lighter than the original spare, only weighs 25 #’s.  And will clear the front disc brakes, unlike the original wheel.  Not bad looking either, although once I get the cargo area sheet metal and cover back in there, nobody will see it.  (Had all the removable cargo area sheet metal sand blasted and been painting it).

 

Now to fasten it down, load jack and tools and she will be ready for whatever the universe throws at us.  ; )
