1967 Fordoor Wheels

[455hota]

As I work on my 67 Fordoor, another question has arose. I do not have a spare tire/wheel in the trunk. I have all the correct jack mechanism, just no spare wheel.
Today as I removed the 4 wheels, I saw they are all stamped:
67 KW and the Ford Oval stamp.
After a quick search on the internet I see the KW wheels are indeed 67 and are solid center and they clear the disc brakes.
In 67 would the spare tire have also been a KW?

Thanks.

Yes - the spare should match the other wheels. Space-saver spares with wheels that differ from the 4 on the ground weren't even a 'thing' for T-birds until the '80s. Be aware that the rims were virtually the same from '65 through '67 on T-birds and full-size Fords with the large-caliper K-H disc brakes, with the '67s having very minute refinements from the '65-'66 versions - they carry a different engineering number from the older ones, but can be interchanged. '68-up are different, so your search will be relatively narrow.

Thanks for the quick response Alan!

I guess I will begin the search for a 5th KW wheel for my 67 Fordoor.

Update: I found a 5th wheel on ebay. It is a 67 KW wheel. Only $39.00 plus shipping. I thought it was a good deal!!
