Was 1968 122 wheel and hub cap different from earlier models? Please Help!!

posted by  someone claiming to be jiffy on  Wed Jan 4 05:38 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I had a set of what I thought were 1968 122 wheels and hub caps that I bought and then had to sell, as I had to sell my 122, and I sold them as 122 rims but now I find out that they most likely are not 122 rims but are instead 140 rims.

I thought that the "ribbed" hubcaps that I had seen were only on 1968 122's. I know that a lot of things on the '68 122 were different from earlier 122's and were early 140 parts, like the steering linkage and some other things. I also thought that the brakes might be different. I am going to have to suck up the shipping expenses on these wheels/ hubcaps/ and trim rings from Alaska, so I need to figure out what these rims are and if it is worth it to pay for shipping again on them!
I was told when I bought them that they were from a '68 122 and they looked like 122 rims to me! I had to sell the 122 before I ever had a chance to put these on the car and I was saving them for the day when I would be able to buy another one which has never came about...
Thanks in advance,
P.S.
Anyone want a full set of these rims?
