They were custom made by my neighbor in the mid 80's. They are probably 3/8" thick steel of some sort that he turned on a mill to match the 5-bolt hubs. We used "counter-sunk" allen head bolts to bolt to the hub with red locktite. He put studs in for where the wheels mount. We also put a set of studs in the 4-bolt rear hubs.
I will try to take some ictures to better explain them. I don't have the CAD drawings he did to design them (wish I did!), but they could be reverse engineered easily.
The biggest draw back is that your front wheels end up with a wider stance, which is much closer to the fenders especially with 195's on there.
