be aware that an aluminum, open cam QR skewer WILL allow the rear axle to suddenly slip forward under hard pedaling... very annoying... you'll want the steel internal cam style of QR skewer.

and the nutted axle sets can be swapped to QR style axle sets, in just about any width... the width swap will demand that the rim be re-Centered to the hub though... this can be daunting to do, and must be done correctly to avoid bike handling trouble.
Nutted and QR axles have different Thread Rates, so the cones and jam nuts do not interchange...

Co-Ops and CL bicycle parts/Ebay/Offer up/ FaceBook Marketplace, etc. can be a good source of a correct wheelset to fit the older bikes... or the Co-Op will have a correct axle set, and assist or do the swap for you ...
