Babymoons - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where I can find a set of babymoon hubcaps like the ones in the picture? I had been looking for some back in the late 90s but could never find any. I wanted to put those on my 68 at one time before it was wrecked but had to go with some other wheels since I couldn't find those. I'd like to eventually find some so whenever I'm able to start rebuilding my truck I can put those on when it's done. Any help would be appreciated.

Stockton Wheel sells moon centers with a chevy emblem, not exactly like the ones in your pic but might work?? http://www.stocktonwheel.com/trims_caps.htm

Those came factory on early second gen Camaros. Kinda hard to find in good shape. I have 2 of them and haven't been able to find 2 more for a couple years now.

Unless you are set on bowtie baby moons, check out www.speedwaymotors.com for regular baby moons.

I would think the camaro vendors would have these caps, if they came on
early camaros.

Used to see lots of Novas with moon caps, I wonder if they had the bowtie as well?

I knew that they came on the early 70s Camaros, that picture is from a 1970 sales brochure that my dad gave me because he had a 1970 Camaro SS that he bought brand new and it had those same wheels and baby moons on it, he sold it to his cousin years before I was born though. Those are really the style baby moons I want, those others are like what you use on the rallye wheels, which I thought about getting a set of those if I can't find the others and painting the wheels the body color. My uncle has a set of those wheels and baby moons that his dad gave him and he put them on a 1970 Chevy LWB fleetside he bought a couple years ago and he put the chrome trim rings on the wheels and they look awesome on that truck. I keep asking him when he's going to let me take them off his hands but no such luck.

have you tried wheel vintiques? they have an online catalog that is very complete.

the 3rd gen novas came with that exact same moon, bow tie and all. If your truck is a 3/4 ton, you won't be able to use it though...I tried.
