Title: 69 Mustang L-code wheel size
Post by: stefan9 on February 16, 2021, 08:43:38 PM

I have a 1969 Mustang coupe L-code with the 250ci straight six. Could anyone confirm that the stock steel wheels are 14x6 on a 69 L-code? Thank you.

Believe they are the same (not completely - see below, as the 1969 T codes 14"x5". Both use the same coding on their buildsheets. Don't have a 69 specific MPC handy


Welcome to the site hope you find the support and information here helpful in your concours related projects

T code 200 six in '69 used 4-lug wheels.

L code 250 six in '69 used 5 lug wheels and used the same drum brakes as the 302 2V.   

Does not mean the wheels were not 14 x 5", just that they could not be the same as used on the T code 200 six.

Thanks Doug for correcting that. Difference on the buildsheet appears to be in column Columns 7-10 show on a T code 50ARS and an L code I have shows   50ADS The difference is the "style"  R's and D's look pretty close on the old sheets I have. Sure the original poster figured this (lug nut differences) out quickly  :(
