Re: [FGF] Re: One more time.. JA vs JC Rally II Wheels

[coleman . james]

I've got a '68 convertible with power drum brakes, and it has JC wheels all the way around. I thought the JCs were for drums; all the info shows other wheels for disc brake models. I think that was also the issue with the American torq thrust wheels. The torq thrust D was for disc brake cars; the regular torq thrust was for the drum models.

> Joe, JA wheels were only used on A bodies, never on Firebird. I have a 68 Firebird that was originally equipped with power discs and it had two of it's original JC wheels when I got the car. I've also owned a very low mileage 68 GTO that had all five of it's original JAs. I'm pretty sure the 68 shop manual shows JCs for the Firebird (with disc brakes), but I don't have my copy in front of
