Looking for 70's tire-tread sandals

Anyone remember those brown leather sandals from the 70s which used a slab of old tire for the sole? The top straps were linked with rivets and metal rings. They were very common then, but apparently not so today. Can anyone out-Google me and find some for sale?

And thanks, but I don't want huaraches. (Blecch.) What I have in mind is more of a traditional sandal, in a configuration sort of like today's Tevas or the Birkenstocks with a heel strap. I used to get a new pair every summer as I was growing up, from local department stores. Hard to believe they'd just go extinct.

I have a pair. No, you can't have them.
I found them in the attic of an ancient restaraunt I was remodeling at 10,000 feet high up in the middle of nowhere, colorado. They require constant repair, and alas, I can't skip in them. I love them regardless.
