I ordered a set of Blue Bow Tie....3/4 ton ones about 2 years ago,thinking I was getting the real thing.Turned out they were actually 73's that had the centers punched out to make them look like originals.And you could still see some of the old yellow bow tie.Not legit in my opinion,buyer beware..

**Bob B.** · 02-17-2006, 05:15 AM

I bought some '71-'72 GMC 3/4 ton ones from them recently. Not cheap, but the caps were really nice, almost NOS. Maybe I got lucky?

**Palf70Step** · 02-17-2006, 06:33 AM

I like Bob B. have used them. and what I got was stuff in really great shape. I had no problems with them. I have also dealt with these folks without problem also.

I have used them too with no issues. Nice used stuff.

ChevLoRay · 02-17-2006, 01:43 PM

At the very least, it's a good photo reference for folks with questions.

I have two sets of rallye wheel caps that are not shown. They came with lug nuts, caps, and other parts needed to attach them. They have blue centers with a bowtie inside the blue center. Five lug nuts are visible and they must be installed with red sleeves that then pass through some black rubber "spacers" before being attached to the wheels.

Anybody else ever seen any of them? I need to get a pic, huh?

chevy_fatman · 02-17-2006, 04:02 PM

Anybody noticed this one is the most expensive one there? you don't see many of those anymore, but every now and then in evilbay

Good stuff!

**Bob B.** · 02-17-2006, 05:02 PM

What did those come on, '68 only?

Sillyoldman · 02-17-2006, 05:17 PM

I tried to order from them. They had no idea if they had what I needed, or when they would get more in.

The hub cab show is 67-68 only.

At $90.00 a piece I'm RICH!

I have about 3 sets of those including the ones on my truck.

toms68cst · 02-17-2006, 05:23 PM

Another good source for hubcaps.

They even offer free installation!
