You mean I'm not the only one with a bias spare and radial tires! I too, have the original Continental spare for my '67 Sqbk. I've used Bridgestone, Michelin, and the worst of the lot was Cooper. I distinctly remember driving the Sqbk after getting radials to replace the bias. What a difference it made. We tried to change to radials in our '64 Ford CrewCab and it was dangerous! Wandered all over the road. It's really tough to find 6.50 - 16" bias tires, but I did. Those who haven't had bias tires won't recall the daily thump-thump of bias ply tires warming up after taking a 'set' overnight.
