lol, I gave Doug that info in the early 90s.

I got the info from the tire engineer at work. I used the top chart to find OEM Goodyear redlines for XX29L9B383272.
That's also when I discovered that OEM MoPar redlines have a thicker center tread area that the ones you'd get in stores, or on other brands, like GM. Found out that 1/2 the tires I had were wrong!!!
So I would guess that no one is correctly reproducing a Mopar style redline.

Not that I know of. Only way to do it OEM correct is search, search, search.
Some stuff is like that, like correct Daytona hoods, for example.
Simply modifying the forward part of a 70 Charger hood won't get it done.
Settling for incorrect lanyards is another thing. :icon_smile_big:
