cag17 with the black truck has a much later hubcap. Thos are $5 each at the local yards, and they all have them. They were on the 80's trucks and I even have a set that I have used to soak parts in!
Yes, the blue bow tie is the correct one and is polished. I have 4 for my truck and a set of the yellow bow tie that is 73 and older that Im going to clean up and paint blue. Ther eis also a slight diff that the 73 and up are a bit concaved and the 72 and earlier are slightly inset, but, if the color is correct, the people at 5000 feet headed to Chicago will never notice!
I would sure like another set of polished blue bow tie ones!
Anyone???
I just bought a complete set of the 73 and up at a price I couldnt resist! Gezzzz, I love Oregon wrecking yards! They hardly crush anything!
