hmmm....definately not a Ford rim
Are the date codes and 5.5 beside the valve stem like this and all other 5.5 factory spacesaver rims.
Any chance someone at some time removed and replaced the tire





Stampings near valve stem are like the ones you show except for the date code.
Sept 17, 1969

The tire did not look like it had been replaced. It is a B.F. Goodrich D70-14 Space Saver Spare.

I heard the change over took place early in the 1970 model year(7.75 x 14 tire to F78 x 14 tire), Oct 69? I was questioning if the (7.35 x 14 tire- E78 x 14 tire) was used for 14" rim cars or at least intended for them? Sounds like from that early publication the 7.75 x 14 tire was for both 14" and 15" rims!

The space saver was used on some 14" & all 15" tire cars if that is what you are after?

For 1971 Challenger, read this page;

It looks like they forgot to update it.

Terry,
Is the wheel you posted a 6-Hole?

Here is the DOT code on the D70-14 SS Spare.

BAK9 CU1 463

BAK9 = Manufacturer and Plant
CU1 = Compact Spare
463 = 46th week of 1973

I thought they stopped using Space Savers before the 74 model year. If so, it looks like someone replaced the tire.
Does anyone have a picture that shows the markings in a known F78-14 Space Saver? It would be interesting to see if there is a letter "D" stamped in the wheel like the one I have posted above.

It is a special cap. It has a little built-in slot at the top that allows you to remove the shrader valve (and deflate the tire after use). Moparts member Jules the Wiper Man has them I think. They're on eBay all the time but they always want too much for them in my opinion ($10 or so for a little piece of plastic that is available new somewhere). No idea on why they're white, maybe to make them stand out as different.
