Show off your caps!
 
Who is running stock hubcaps or perhaps a different hubcap on their 67-72 truck? After seeing how nice they can look I wonder who else is doing this. Show off your dog dish caps or your full covers. This is a ANTI bling-bling :metal: thread.. Just look how sweet this truck looks. I like it both ways but clean painted wheels and caps are nice and different!!

I seem to always arrive way too early for cruise nights. Here is a pic shot from a guy who attends a lot of shows here.

Bouncy---that Blazer is beautiful! 16" wheels? What's going on there? 8 lug? 3/4T axles? That's an impressive combination.:cool:

Stock 16" 6 lug. My understanding is that they were swapped at the dealer.

Are those 15" wheels on that 3/4ton or small diameter tires?

I was looking for steel wheels that fit stock hub caps in 15X8 on Peterson wheel web site, Geeze they're going for $90 each then $35ea for powdercoat. The smoothie wheels are going for $60 but wont take our hubcaps. Anyone know where to get them cheaper?

I like the way the painted silver wheels and the stainless hubcaps on the 67-68 C-20s look. With the caps all polished and the paint stripped off it kinda looks like a truck version of a rally wheel.
I'd like to find a 16.5 trim ring to fit these wheels but the older 16.5 x 8.25 wheels have a sharp lip on the edges and none of the 16.5 trim rings will clip on correctly.

Here's mine. One of the frew shiney things on the truck.
Going to get new tires this week. No more rock hard CO-OP mud tires.
