If you have a broadcast sheet the spare will be coded on it.

Otherwise....

15" wheel cars got the space saver.

14" wheel cars got a 14" spare.

Convertibles may have all had the space saver?

If it had steel wheels the spare should match.

interesting, I just started decoding my dads build sheet for his 70 challenger convert and it shows a space saver spare but also has 14" rims.  Would the converts have come with the space saver spare or was that something that was optional as well?

I'm pretty sure all convertibles came with a space saver tire.
