Finally found a reasonably priced 14"ralley wheel for my 71 442 trunk spare. Had it blasted and in primer ready for paint. Did the 71 spare come with trim ring and center cap? If so did the hold down rod assembly go through a stud opening? Could someone please post a picture of a correct spare mounted in the trunk for 71'? Thanks !

It's right on the stowage decal in the trunk.




The center cap is in place, but no trim ring. The J-bolt goes through one of the lug holes and there is a special nut. The jack handle is stowed in clips (since you need it to get that nut off).

And FYI, "ralley" wheels are for Chevys...

Thanks Mr. P !! Trying to get ready for show season. I'm guilty on the use of "ralley" since my other car is a 69 Chevelle SS and I tend to mix the verbage quite often. Appreciate the help as always. Now to get in the old wallet and get the plastic hex nut and a new SS ll center cap. Have all the other components

Bugs, I think it's a metal nut. Inline tube makes a repro; they're punks, but I think you'll be ok with a simple purchase.

Correct. It looks like a tall lug nut, but with a smaller thread for the J-hook.

Looked black in the catalog so just assumed it was plastic. Thanks!
Parts Place has nut and center cap at a reasonable price
