I'm trying to find how many wheel,wheel cover, and tire combos there could be for a 68 383 runner. My B'cast sheet was chewed by a mouse so I'm looking for correct options to help narrow my wheel/tire options

I have 647 heavy duty wheels and F70-14 "white streak" tires on the b'cast sheet. What hubcap options do I have? Pics would be great

thanks guys

"647" wheels were STANDARD on a '68 Road Runner. They were 14x5-1/2".

If you have the bottom of the broadcast sheet, about dead center are the codes for WHEEL & WHEEL COVER

Although the 14x5-1/2" "chrome road wheels" were OPTIONAL, they were not coded as "647" under "fleet items".

wish I did, but I dont have the bottom half of the bcast sheet, Dan I'm sure you see a lot of them but you decoded my sheet last summer (or whats left of it) Thats where I got the info on the 647's and white streaks

If I have the 647 wheels I could rule out the road wheels right?
Also my car has the decor pkg, not sure if that would specify certain caps

Yup, thats the one (8g266xxx)

So the first pic is the one my car would have had?
How can you tell that if the bottom of my sheet is gone

Thanks I appreciate your help, I'll have to see about finding a set of 'em now

Chrome road wheels on a 68 RR. Here's my car with a set of org 14x5.5's in the front, but I installed 15x7's on the rear.
