Thanks in advance Joe

The build sheet for my 69 GTX has 16-5 under Wheel and I know it came with steelies and dog dish hubcaps. Sorry but don't know what 16 Y2 means. Can't find it in Gailen's book.

Thanks in advance Joe 16 would be the code for what wheel used, 440 cars got a 14x5.5 or 14x6 wheel, I can't remember exactly, Y2 is what color the wheels were painted (your car should be Y2) and 88 is the code for plymouth dog dish hub caps. T85 is as stated by the previous posters EDIT: 69 440 cars came with 14x5.5 steelies, courtesy of 69coronetRT Last edited by blue67440's; 02/19/09 09:55 AM. XP29L72 A833 in 881 XP29L72 A727 in 881

You could have E70, G70, H70 etc. The letter was the width and the 70 was the profile. F60 were wider (fatter) than F70. E70 were narrower than F70. 14 is the wheel size in inches. I think my original 69 GTX back in 69 came with Firestones but I'm not sure.

Chrysler had contracts with both companies. My 69 383 RR which I bought new Sept 8, 1969 had Firestones with the red side walls (redlines). My fraternity brother's had Goodyears. I always thought that Goodyear was more common on the Plymouths than the Firestones. In my opinion, the Goodyears look better. 5038694-OriginalGoodyearsallaround.jpg (76 downloads)
