AK Wanted: Factory 4x4 Wheel Caps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kilomanjaro · 10-03-2011, 11:28 PM

TTT...Still looking.....I will assemble a set if guys have 1 or 2 to sell.

I am looking for a complete set of four center wheel caps for a 72 chevy blazer 4x4. I need them to go on a stock 16" x 6" 6 lug steel wheel. I can measure the mounting diameter. I would be ok with a nice chrome set (prefered) or a nice white set. I am looking for the "dog dish" style with the blue bowtie in the middle. I am not looking for the full hub-cap style. Thanks and let me know what you have.

You are looking for 2 of these, and two without the centers, correct? To be factory correct, make sure that the cap is concurved (curved upward), not concaved(curved down). The '73-up style looks similar, but is concaved like a bowl in the center. Some people have painted the center bowties to appear correct. I only have one for sale here.

That is exactly what I am looking for....I guess I need two with bow ties and two with an open center for the hub. Thanks for the tip on getting original ones...I didn't know that.

FYI,that picture is a hubcap for the 8-lug wheels. All 5 and 6-lug caps will fit and are the same. Of course,all 4wd 1/2 tons are 6-lug.

Get a hold of frank "pickmup" he might have what your looking for.

After reading and then re-reading John's post, you are correct about him needing two open w/o centers (front) and then two closed w/blue bowties (rear), but I dont think your pictured 12" 3/4 ton cap will work for him. He is wanting this set for a K/5 w/16" six lug, which should be the 10.5" type like I have pictured below, these would fit/be correct for the K/5-10 GM/Kelsey-Hayes type six lug centers in 15's, 16's & even the 16.5's. Unlike the larger 3/4 ton caps, both styles of these 1/2 ton chrome w/blue bowtie or stainless w/yellow bowtie caps were all stamped concave in the center no matter the color. Mel

Kilo, how about a couple bright pics of those 16x6 6 lug 4x4 steelies. They're so rare, its probably the only way any of us will ever see what they look like

kilomanjaro · 10-05-2011, 12:08 AM

Mel, you set isn't for sale is it?

Viking, I assume you are kidding about these being rare

I can take a few pics if you were serious. I really don't know how common they are.

I'll take them. Can you still do $50 shipped for me in Alaska? they would have to be shipped to a PO box so it would have to be by priority mail or parcel post. Let me know.

I don't recall white, open 4x4 caps being made. I think they were chrome or stainless.
I might be able to put together a set of stainless if you are still looking.
