You can buy new front wheels for about $700 and a pair of aluminum rears for the same amount. Going to need new tires anyway and you will kill the value of the rears when you add screws to the rim to keep the tires from spinning.
Front axles are just pieces of tube and I can build them up to the longest piece of tubeing available.

I paid $6800 for mine in simular condition,but it came with complete drivetrain and clutch, also had some history to it which is why I paid that amount. would have paid more but I did not buy the rear wheels because they were drilled for screws.

A few weeks ago on the HAMB board in the wanted classifieds someone was looking for a CC project. mine was too complete/finnished for what I think they wanted to spend

That's a nice looking FED Bruce. True old school the way I like it!
