It has the following info. on the original door jamb decal F78x14 LOAD RANGE B 3402332 My question is: Which tires would come on the car originally? GG's book lists a whitewall F78x14 and a blackwall F78x14. From the information above is there any way to tell which one should be on the car. Thanks everyone.
