Took the original split rims off for one-piece 16's. Found and restored a set of chrome caps to replace the original white painted caps. Restoring the faded trim paint in the second photo. A real time consumer!

Just curious, are you going to spray that trim or paint it with a brush? Same goes for the hubcaps...did you spray or brush?

Sprayed both. Took many hours to do all four. I spaced it out over several weeks so I wouldn't get sick of it.

The thin darker blue tape is 3M vinyl-style tape which is easier to work with around corners, etc. O'Reilly's had it but I had to ask for it from their paint department. They don't stock it on the shelves.

Those will work but make sure you get either the 5 on 5 bolt pattern for 5 lug or the 6 on 5.5 for 6 lug bolt pattern.

Ahhh, then those wheels are what you want for the stock look with the original hub caps..

jkeating1 · 05-03-2013, 09:51 AM

I don't guess this is what you mean by "who's on steelies?", huh? When you can see the steel in the tire, that's not a good day!

New old shoes

jhwkns · 05-03-2013, 09:49 PM

I replaced my worn out tires with a set of 275/ 60's I had on hand. I think I forgot how big these were.

Nothing rubs though.

I am not 100% sure but according to this thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=564724 1967-68 4wd did not have hub caps.

I am pretty sure 67/ 68 used the full hub cap in picture one but the hub cap in picture 2 is for a 4wd but I was told they came out on 69 and up. They look like they would match if you wanted full caps but they would not be original. Hope this helps.

I was a porter in a Chevy dealership back then, and my recollection is that 4wd's didn't have caps until at least 69. Maybe even a year or two later than that.
