Well, I looked at the wheels closely this weekend. Bill, you were right. I was mistaken about the purple wheel posted above. It is a 327 wheel. The seven was very faint and I mistook it for a 9. Apparently I have two 327's. One thing to note about these wheels is that they have raised bumps on either side of the valve stem (approx. 1 inch on either side). On another note, I looked at the second broadcast sheet that was found by the restoration shop during disassembly. It clearly lists code 27 for the wheels even though GG listed them as 29 on his decoding of the first broadcast sheet. Neither sheet is in very good condition, but the second sheet is very clear on the wheels. All of the wheels I have are 14x6 JJ.

Here's a copy of the second broadcast found taped behind the dash. I circled the wheel box.

Ryan,

Thanks for the reply. I was anticipating the welcoming of the first known example of a 329 wheel to surface "in person", but I guess that will just have to wait!

Your broadcast sheet isn't the greatest, but it is much better than not having one at all!

Ryan: If you don't mind, can you tell us what the date codes are on the two 327 wheels that you have?? There are obviously some of us on this board(me included) that are looking to cobble together a matched set or at least a set that is close to matching. Maybe with everyones input we can do some horse trading and make a few people happy! I have two that are dated Aug 6, 1970, one dated Feb 9, 1970, one dated Feb. 10, 1970, one dated Aug. 6, 1969 and one dated July 8, 1969. Any one else??

Here is one of the 327 wheels I have that is Made in USA. If you look closely, I have circled a "29" stamping in the upper left of the photo. Maybe this has something to do with the broadcast sheet code???

Here is the other 327 wheel I have. This one is Made in Canada and doesn't have a "29" on it. Both are stamped 2944327 next to the valve stem. Also, judging by these pictures, both appear to have been manufactured during the 1969 calendar year. The first manufactured at plant 3 and this one manufactured at plant 5. Hmmmm.

Here is a picture of a 2944327 (on the left) next to a 3580060 (72-74 B body). They are identical.

Ryangtogtx, Is the back spacing the same on the two wheels, the 327 and the 060 ?

Not the number I want... plus I won't continue to post in this thread further as it's not the appropriate place.

Thanks.

Is there confirmation that the 2944327 wheels are used both in 70-71? If so, both B & E body?

Based on photos of purple wheel in this thread it seems clear they were available in 70 MY as well. I assume Galen's white book is incorrect stating as 71 B body only.

Date code on the wheel above is 11 3 1969, so it was made during the 1970 model year.

Body color wheels were used for the first part of the '71 model year as well for hubcap equipped cars.

Thanks Barry! I resurrected this old thread today when I found it on google. I am trying to find out if 2944327 wheels are "confirmed" as being used on 70 model year vehicles. I have seen a few date code examples that certainly correlate to 70 MY production vehicles. Wondering if there are build sheet photos to confirm same as what is shown for 71 MY in this thread. As noted above, I am guessing the GG "Little White Book" is in error by listing as 71 B only.
