Charles, Mark, Rob, Al and others,
The wheel I bought today (for $10) looks exactly like the "this should work" picture Mark sent. I picked it out from the spec sheet Emery put on the Net a while back. The proof is in the pudding, of course. Tomorrow, I will take a front wheel off the coach and try the wheel on to see if it fits and, per Rob's suggestion, I will try to check what the clearance would be from fully extended, new, brake pads.
Thanks again gentlemen.

tom;
if you've got stock drum brakes on the back, I'd recommend trying the wheel on the rear. As I recall when I went through this years back, the issue with many of the newer wheels is that they make contact with the drum before the bolt ring seats on the hub.
I think....

If it clears the front caliper, it will clear the drums. I can almost get my pinky finger between the drum and the rim. Not so much room at the front.
I have heard even the "right" rim can scrub the front caliper a bit if the pads are new.
