     I'm in need of one stock 57 Ford 14' wheel without the slots in it.  I have plenty of the ones with the slots in them.   
    Does someone have one of these in his junk pile that he is willing to part with?
     This is a picture of the one with out the slots that I need.
Thanks Jay

Sorry Ecode, I wasn't even sure what I had until I went out and checked. They all have the slots . I had some original 57's and they are slotted too.

Mine are all slotted as well.

All 57 Retracs, Ranchero's and wgns had non slotted whls. I haven't had any sedans to know for sure on them.
I think the slotted ones started in 58.

Jumping Jack flash and Rich...Thank you both very much for taking the time to look.

Skyliner Ron  ...Thank you very much for responding on the non slotted and the slotted.  Did you ever read anywhere that taxi cabs, police cars and some special orders came with non slotted?   It could be my imagination. 
    If I can't find what I want, I'll just have to go with the slotted.

Might check with John Gramble on that.  I do believe the non- slotted were on all heavy duty applications.  My Retratable had two on it and my Ranchero came with three.  They will all be used on the Retract otherwise you could have one.

Non-Slotted were used on retracts, rancheros, wagons, and t-birds.   They are slightly wider than the slotted version.  I'm not aware that they were used on any other HD models.  You could be use the non-slotted on yours to give it a more HD look.

    I'm not in a hurry.  I have some rollers on it now that will get me around.  The non slotted wheels are the last thing on my to do list.
Thank You very much Jay

If you still need these I saw them for sale at this site.  Says they have 12, probably cause they want alot for them.

     I'm not in that much of a hurry because  it has  temporary wheels on it now.  In the meantime I'm loaded with in between jobs to do on the car to keep me busy, and you don't to interrupt your schedule just to get a wheel.  Jay
