Looks like the back side od what most incorrectly call a Magnum 500 wheel, which is the marketing name for the like type wheels on Fords of that era.

Thought it looked like a recall wheel as it appears to be aluminum/magnesium? thought the magnums were steel?

They are steel. They are chrome plated. It appears to me to be a dirty chrome backed peice and the pattern appears to be the wheel I mentioned.
The chroming on the back of the wheels were not finished as well as the fronts and are duller.

696Pack I really don't know what to tell you, I've tried to be nice and hold back my temper but that hasn't worked. I have run out of evidence to support my argument because you dismiss it as of my inexperience. Today however I will say YOU ARE RIGHT.

You'll have to excuse me because, remember I have a '69 Charger with a big 440 and Air. I'm used to 69's so that's where it came from. OK?

Thought you guys might like to see some happy snaps of this 68 I am questions about.

I admit I haven't gone back and read the entire thread. But if these pics are of the car you're talking about, it isn't an A/C car unless the firewall has been changed

I have to resurrect this thread because I have a 383 4 Speed with air - build sheet confirmed. With the VIN numbers, Galen's book shows 259 built. It wouldn't make sense that of the 259 all were 4 speeds with air, would it?
