I checked the Colvin and it says they are 1969??? rims..I guess???..I am a dope when it comes to decoding rims..only since I have been around here did I understand how important it is to a nice car to have the right codes..what I found today is

4- 14X7 SS rims

coded
3- 12 valve stem 15 AO
1- 5 " " 26 YA

The book I have if I am reading it right says they are 14X7 JJ rims and the side note is the AO rims supercede's the YA rim....did I do it right...??? LOL.

so the first number on the left is the month and the one on the right is the day....are the codes ever re-used where there would be confusion on the proper application/year

Guy pulled them from a '71 so I assumed they were 70 rims and new I did not have book for a '70

Educate me on the subject please....

Thnx Bud.

YA was the 1969-early built 70 application.
AO was the one that followed it in 1970.
You are correct on the month/year decoding.
Look for another code to the left of the Valve stem and month code that will narrow down the year.
Looks like M4 with an 8,9,or 0 under it,
Decodes as 1968,1969,or 1970.
This helps determine for example,if it's a YA October 1968,or October 1969 rim.

[budnate]

the YA has MI
9


and the AO has M
9

Rick how do I read that..Is this info in the 67/69 Camaro Colvin Book??? I dont see how to read that info....Thnx for coaching me on this...

[Mr70]

Your YA is May 26th,1969 for a 1969 model application.
Your AO is Dec. 15th,1969 for a 1970 model application.
I use the Chevrolet Dealer Service Bulletins,and Service News for reference,among others.

Rick,is there a book or handout published a person can buy to decode the small letters next to the month...I would like to read all the info out there on the subject and get up to speed on the different codes...

Thnx Bud.

[budnate]

Hey Bud,

I believe there is a decode key for SS wheels in the Camaro book by John Hooper. I have it at home I can check it later for you. Or maybe someone else has it handy right now...
