Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
I just bought a 1967 Chev 1/2ton 2wd Dark Aqua Poly pickup.
It has white wagon wheels on it currently. I have been looking for two 15x7 six lug rallyes for awhile. This would be my wheels of choice to run with 15x8's out back with 15x7's up front. But, this got me thinking... What would have came on this truck originally. This appears to be all mostly original truck. it's pretty rusty and alot of paint fade (patina). But, I have attached the SPID tag image. It is a "Custom", it is a V-8, auto, 3.73 posi. But does not refer to wheels or covers on the SPID. The trim and front bumper are painted, not chrome. Does this give anyone any indication as the whether this truck would have had the small center cap type hub cap or the full cover? Kind of thinking I might go back with this look for awhile once I get it running. If you wouldn't mind posting a picture or two of the hub/wheel cover I am searching for as well. That would be great. Thank you all in advance.

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
Chrome hubcaps or wheel covers would be a listed option for a '67 Custom. Your truck came with painted white hubcaps

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
Ok, so I have not picked up the truck yet (will be later today). I just noticed the spare tire mounted in the bed, this just may answer my above question as far as orig wheel color. We will see...

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
Except for the “custom group” my truck is similar with side molding, white painted bumpers and grill. My wheels are painted black from the factory with the small white dog dish caps.

I have, of course, found three 15x7 four nub wheels laying around. So I may look for another black 6-lug steel wheel locally to run on this thing once I get it running. So, I replaced broken passenger side door glass, new regulator and door latch mechanism. Then took off the west coast jr mirrors. Also gave it a decent wash, but will definitely need to go back for a good de-greasing. It's still on the trailer at the shop.

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
I will keep an eye out for a set of these, pretty much any quality will be ok for this truck.

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
Thank you for letting me know, but not sure that "expensive" is the kind this truck needs. I think more of a "low to slightly below average driver" is more like what I am thinking.

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
These are the caps that came with my '67 c10 2wd custom (v8, 4-spd). I thought "custom" meant chrome trim and vinyl covered door panels, but maybe that was only a Canadian thing.

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
Those are passenger car hub caps. They do fit well and look just fine.

Even if they are passenger car caps I like em, and with the red rims on my black truck, they'll look good.

Might be why we can find mint take-off caps all these years later. Popped off, put on shelf, car caps on

Re: Wheel/Hub Cap Question ?
'67 uses wheel paint rules carried over from '66. These rules do not apply to '68-'72. If solid color, wheels are gloss black, hubcap white with red trim. If tu tone( roof white) wheels are body color, hubcap white with red trim.
