Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/11602339897...Bk9SR9zBoJWYYw Not mine.These are the real deal for '69-'72, chrome over brass, not the later more common '73-'75 stainless. The mentality of the car hobby back in the day was small hubcaps on pickups were "poverty caps" "dog dish bowls". Fools.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Nice indeed! Nice final touch on a completely restored or very nice original truck.

Interesting that a set of 69-72 hubcaps today could buy about 1/3 of the whole truck back in 69-72.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Right, and especially on those time capsules, thinking of JoesJunk collection, but I believe all his are 3/4 tons.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Jeez! That's more than I paid for a whole Stepside in 1973. And it came with hubcaps.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

That's not even a set it's only 2 caps! Wow that is crazy

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Egad, I didn’t even notice it was just the fronts!

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

1973-2023 that’s a couple years!

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

For just the fronts.
That's just kooky crazy.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

That's almost as much as I paid for my Blazer in 2007.

It's more than I paid for both my Detroit Truetrac and my Redhead steering gear this month.

I guess if you're going for a 100 point restoration it might be worth it.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

The inner lip is also painted black. Don’t believe 3/4t caps had paint at that level.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

For posterity's sake, the price is US $1,299.00


If you had the unit in your hand and no part numbers or original packaging, how can you tell the brass versions apart from stainless? Magnets won't work....

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Depends... not all stainless is non-magnetic. I don't know about the stainless versions of these.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Those are some rare and beautiful caps! I don’t own any 1/2 ton trucks at all.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

If you had them side by side you can tell. The chrome ones feel heavier and have a deeper shine. Also, the 69-72 caps have the black painted where the lock out sticks through.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Thanks you guys. Always good to learn things, never know what you may find one day at a swap meet. Although most guys there "know what they got."

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Not mine. Even were I to go through mine again, I wouldn't put these caps on it. Mine is a working vehicle, not a garage queen. No need for that kind of detail. Great for the guy who is putting his truck on a shelf, but I can't afford to do that.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

I see no issue with the price. Just my opinion.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

What mentioned above, plus the cap will eventually crack and/or the chrome gets scratched:smoke: That's not a problem for stainless. Chrome has more BLING, for a while;)

Well, I can't really speak for all chrome caps, from a crack standpoint, they were made with at least two different materials.

Hmm, $650 a cap plus govt. share. That's a BUNCH. I paid $200 a piece for restored stainless, though 2WD. It's about priorities and depth of pockets. Perhaps the seller isn't that far off considering the condition and rarity. Only question is desire.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

The seller is looking for that one deep pockets buyer. The only K series trucks here that I've seen that are even close to worthy of them are the ones that Ironcanine builds..
:chevy:

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Right, aimed at the high end resto, the time capsule or the perfectionist. Most in this hobby are not aware of the difference, assuming all '69-'75 caps were the same. The seller obviously knows.

Re: Anyone have a K 10 worthy of these caps?
 

Now, 10% off! A paltry $1,169.10!!

The original poster isn't listing them for sale, he's just making an observation.
