Re: the not-so full wheel covers
I figured '75 was the last year for painted hub caps. That was the last year for the style that ran from '69. I have never seen a painted 76-91 hub cap. What did a painted 76-78 hub cap look like? Were they the same as the bright stainless caps? Was '78 the last year for painted bumpers?(...until the W/T series years late)
I really like a plain Jane truck as well as a highly optioned one. But,I guess I'm one who's guilty of not caring for the painted caps that much on anything past when grilles would also be painted. I'm sure I would have changed the painted ones (and you could thank me for the well preserved examples that sat above the garage for 40 years) if I bought a truck with them. I used to like the look of no hub caps and wide wheels back when these trucks were fresh. The first thing I did on the '72 Highlander I bought in '73 was ditch the wheel covers. Hey! I was 18!! What did I want with old man wheelcovers? ![]()
