i'll tell u what ones i like later on im wopped and going to take a shower ive mowed and im covered in frickin chiggers from hubcapping UGH:waah::waah::smoke::devil:

Looks like they got everything from the '40's on UP!!! I'm speculating on most of these.....
hubcaps 1 look like ford van caps
hubcaps 2 I believe are correct dogdishes for our 'era of trucks. AND...are my personal pic for you to get if you go steelies!!

hubcaps 3 next era and later dogdish chevy truck/van caps (don't think they fit our steel wheels)
hubcaps 4 ??most likely car caps?? when and what other than chevy i don't know! :lol:

hubcaps 5 I think 60's (before our trucks)
hubcaps 6 Well, those are Rick's!! :haha: what r they from Rick?

Hope that gives u and idea. And my vote!!!

Re: "Rice Rocket'

I'll tyr'n buy a set from him he said he had 4 wide steelies for $100 i just need 3 (have 2 but one is a spare)

The cap in picture #2 is the correct one for our trucks although the one in the picture you snapped is for a C20. I have a set of the stainless ones on my truck and they look awesome although I like the poverty caps as well.

I'm from Arizona so this whole chigger and tick thing is new to me. Boy does it suck! Beautiful state though.

oldblue1968chevy 06-30-2011 11:28 PM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
if you would just fix your driver door so you could put more trim on...what about the cab peices?

oldblue1968chevy 07-03-2011 12:38 AM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
i gotta get my door adj to put the rest of the drivers cab trim on...i played with it awhile back and got it better but not good enough?

67chevy1series 07-03-2011 12:40 AM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
you should supply me with pics... and you cant pu the little 3 or 4 inch peice bhind the door on? why? if the door is to close to the fender then it should be ok to put the trim on the cab behind the door right? ...maybe i just dont know because i can see LOL

slick copper 07-03-2011 12:41 AM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
Nice! I like the half moon headlight covers! Didn't know you had them.
Oh, and I think tready meant your hubcap heaven find! :lol:

oldblue1968chevy 07-03-2011 12:55 AM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
The headlight covers were on it when i bought it they came off right away, then they grew on me. I wish I could get the truck back how it was when I bought it it was 1 color, straight and sorta still unmolested...oh well wrecks new motors disc brakes its all good

i'll try' get the hole diagram rick ive been busy

i guess i can put the lil trim piece on i just cant get my hand in the lil area behind the cab corner to tightne the nuts

67chevy1series 07-03-2011 12:57 AM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
thats the good thing the cab doesnt use the little clips with the nuts it only uses the push in clips
