I went out and checked more wheels!! NON-Packard wheels. I found a 14" chevy wheel that i know i've had since 1985 or earlier. It has a safety bead on the wheel cover side only. NO such safety bead on the drum side at all. The safety bead on the wheel cover side is in the rite place but seems ever so slightly more squareish than the more rounded safety beads on all of the other more modern wheels i have piled up here.
