My memory is not what it used to be now!

No. The popular 7" Firestones kinda went away with Junior Stock. Once slicks came back in 1975 , some of us went back to Stock.
Some of the East Coast guys like W.A. Lee, found some 7 inchers in a warehouse, and ran them on the heavier wagons. Of course, they were faster than the 9's,...at about 30 psi !

Uh, don’t forget the ever popular 7” JC Penny slicks. At least one pair found its way to Lousville, Ky......
