I asked this over on the (new) RRT, but thought I'd throw it out here, too.
Has Halibrand gone out of biz? Son-in-law wants to put some on his ' 54 F-100, but has been told they went belly up.Particulars?

From what i heard that the man that owned it gave it to his son and he must not have had an interest in it. And just let it go dow hill.

THEIR WEBSITE IS STILL UP AND RUNNING, http://www.halibrand.com/
SEEMS TO ME THAT WOULD BE GONE.
HOPE I CAN LOCATE SOME OF THEIR WHEELS, THEY HAVE BEEN IN MY PLANS FROM THE BEGINNING...JUST CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF WELDING IN THE SAME ROOM AS THOSE BIG $ WHEELS. MY LUCK, A GREAT BIG OL BEAD O MOLTEN STEEL WOULD BOUNCE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FLOOR CLIMB THE STEPS TO THE ATTIC AND SEEK AND DESTROY MY WHEELS.
