Title: Space Saver identification help
Post by: aboss4tg on May 18, 2025, 11:04:17 AM
I have owned this for years and not sure which cars it fits. Purchased for my 69 GT350 but I found the correct one. I used a hub from a 65 Mustang to show the bolt pattern is for a Ford, but do not see a Ford logo. Any help would be appreciated

Appreciate the information. Any idea on a date range on this space saver? I plan on listing for sale and want to be accurate on description.

My Space Saver spare is for a 1969 BOSS 429 which a friend (past owner) sold me. Are they the same?

the SS in photos is more common 70 and up f-78-14 and it replaces 7.75-14 same tire just a different type of size ID but same size tire. 7.35 and 7.75 were replaced with e.78 and f78 tire size in 1970 and up on all cars that used ss tires.
