    What is the length of the original valve stems used on '70-'72 chrome road wheels? Any length will work but I'm curious to know what was used originally on the '70-'72 15x7 wheels. Anyone got an original spare tire in their '70-'72 A-body that they can measure?

    I have a few original spares & will post back if nobody beats me to it. Pretty sure it'll be a TR-413 or 414.

    I figured it would be TR-413 or 414 since that's what I usually see on these cars but I'd like know what's on an original chrome road wheel. I prefer the look of the shorter TR-413 stem personally.

    If you are worried about that John Chamberlain swore the valve caps had a little “nipple” cast into them, so that is what we look for on the show field.

    I have the orig 14" spare chrome wheel/tire for my '71 GS (checked & double Whitehall btw:)) and an orig 15x7 chrome spare wheel/tire but not sure what year it is. Will look at the valve caps too.

    Is this the correct style?

    Yes, that is what Chamberlain was talking about.
