Yup, same internals as any other GM TH400. I think ebay had complete kits for about $190.

I'll take a close look at those rims and get a few pics.

I got a good look at the rims, there doesn't seem to be any pitting but the silver paint around the edge is bubbled up on one of them. I can text you the photo if you send my your cell #.
