Re: What to do about not-reproduced 1966 GMC hubcaps

Not a metal person, but wonder if it is it possible to cut out a nice chrome GMC center out of a used cap and glue it on to the center of reproduced chrome Chevy cap? Finding a NOS set today is almost impossible, most dealership parts depts. back in the day usually ordered one at a time for a customer, and if the customer didn't show up to claim his cap, it sat on the shelf, not worth the shipping cost to return it to the GM parts depot.
I was going to make a separate post related to the Sport Custom option and see who, if anyone among all the members of this site owns a truck with them
