Dura Ace 7400 uniglide freehub w special thread on cog 32mm? (i'll
include, seeing some for about $12 ebay)

Bearings are great. freehub is now what we call a "Micro Ratchet "

One spline has already been ground down so that you can put a hyperglide
splined cog on. With spacers and your one "lock-ring" cog, will makes a
great adjustable chainline single speed wheel.
10mmx1 threading on bearing cones and locknuts so can easily convert to
bolt on.

R585 rim. good rim ~ 30 mm deep.

20 hole in 2:3 pattern. so 12 spokes on drive side, 8 on nds, yes dont
ask, un-orthdox but its good, its built, ready for someone to use it up.
thus Pretty good even high tension on all. which as we all know is a must
for having a wheel where the spokes don't start failing. Rim bed washers
with internal nipples, means high tension won't crack rim. Wheels and
spokes should still be good say 20 years from now... Well, I suspect in
gritty portland, the brake track will be the limiting factor on wheel
life.

I have nice front wheels also. and other wheels/rims, tell be what you
are looking for..
I am in hillsboro, but can bring into work (portland). or anywhere on max
line inbetween.
