Hello friends I currently have a set of 10 spokes for my 68 clone that my father bought about 15 years ago from an old fellow. Right now I'm trying to figure out washers and lug set I need for these rims. I need to know what size the washers are inner/outer diameter and thickness

Those look like early over the counter wheels with a flat seat/washer as opposed to the more popular tapered seat later wheels. The OEM flat lugs are very difficult to find in any condition. I purchased these on eBay and while not totally correct, they serve the purpose pretty well.

Call Branda and see if they have any left in the shop

Hi,
Just measured a washer and it is 0.125" thick 1.027" O.D and 0.687" I.D (OR 11/16")
Also checked the Mcgard website and they offer them in stainless and they are available from a ton of places Summit-Jegs-Amazon-Tire rack- so if Branda is out of stock you have
Many options. As a word of caution the proper length of lug nut shank is important. If the wrong one is used it may bottom on the axle and not secure the wheel. Torque the wheel to 100 ft lbs and retorque after driving 250 Miles. Aluminium wheels will "move" so retorque is critical Especially with a non tapered seat lug nut. No one wants a wheel to be loose for any reason. Hope this helps
