Nice find.

Sure could be. Wheel and jack are both dated Aug. of 68, for a 69 car.
That wheel was used on drum brake Camaros.

I have NEVER seen a definitive source for dating the old tires. I even corresponded with Goodyear directly. The folks were very kind and tried to help, but never could find any info on tire dating for the 40 plus year old tires.

I see lots of posts on different web sites regarding the DOT designation and when that supposedly started, but some of that has been conflicting.

If that is the original spare, it may have never been off the rim. Look for a 2 or 3 digit crayon mark on the inner part of the rim. Usually in white or yellow.

Also interesting (if it is an original that has never been off the rim) as I have also seen info posted lately that the Dill valve stem cap is NOT correct for 69 model year. That LOOKS like a dill cap.
