I may have one but it may be only 24 spoke I will look.

Ever find it?

Sorry life is crazy right now. I apologize it is a 20 spoke I can not tell it looks like a slightly different profile. The little ryst spots around the spokes cleans right up.

i have many. huffy used a few different rims on hundreds ofdifferent models. Also need check front axle size ( probably 5/16") and spacing which can be redone to match the fork.

You're looking for a middleweight 26" front rim correct?
Most single drop chrome lare 50s to late 60s rims were MO (Murray stamped).
Not sure why there is mention of the number of spokes unless I missed something.

In any case where are you located cause I may have one. Unless it's for a muscle bike. Then I don't.

Can you post a picture of your bike needing this wheel?

It's a 20" for sure. Looks like 28 spokes on this front wheel. Nice looking muscle bike.

It depends. In '68, both the 20x1-3/8" and 20x1.75 were used by the Rail, which the Wheel Bike is. I've personally only seen them with the 20x1-3/8 front wheel. I have a NOS one and one in more of a used shape. I'd sell either.
