Hubcap pics for all of you that asked... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**PICKMUP** · 12-04-2004, 11:33 PM

FOR SALE/FOR SALE: 1/2T caps off of new truck. Inside as nice as out. These are new. I have front 4X4 caps in same condition...your choice... $100 + shipping. These are 100% exactly the same caps as our 70-72s...only with yellow paint. I can't believe the guys that only want blue bowties.

Anyone on this board is capable of scuffing & painting a little blue paint inside a bowtie...and look at the condition of these!

barraza: Finally got pics of two 3/4T caps in vg to exc condition. $50 + shipping. SOLD

CARS4567: 3/4T GMC caps in vg to exc condition. $80 + shipping.SALE PENDING

castiron9: One of the 3/4T 67-8 caps. At least one of them in new/NOS. SOLD!

Last: A special pic of some caps that are unbelievably beautiful. See separate reply.

...and now look at these.

The picture just doesn't do them justice. These are "chrome", not just polished stainless. I have found a couple of these over the years (1/2T, 3/4T, GMC & Chev). I don't know how or why they were done, but they are surely real GM...and the finish is amazing.
I would venture a guess that they are somewhat "Rare", but everytime I use that word 50 guys jump on and tell me they have hoards of the stuff.

I am not trying/offering these for sale...just an interesting item that fits the subject of this thread. If you insist, I will put a price on them, but don't ***** if it is "over the top".

If you think these prices are a little high, remember I had to buy them. As an example I just bought two 67 caps on Ebay for about $40 and they have "rubber hammer dents" in them. Maybe I can improve them, maybe not. I don't even know if they are 1/2 or 3/4, so the other two I have may not even match them.

DAM* those last two look awesome! I've only found one real nice chrome hubcap but it was from a '71 and has the concave center, not the convex one I need and it's nice, but not like those! Got it off ebay from a guy about 30 miles from me too.

frank, what do you use to polish them so well?

Nice caps like these don't need much. Just wipe on some polish and wipe off.
Real bad ones can be improved with a bench grinder & buffing wheel, but only so much.

FOR SALE-- The 1/2T caps above are now for sale. The guy looking for them only wants "BLUE" bowties/hubcaps.

rennspd · 12-07-2004, 12:12 AM

and how much for the yellow bow-ties?

**PICKMUP** · 12-07-2004, 10:02 PM

Here are pics of 1/2T 4X4 caps. They are really nice! The spots are water...It is raining out here.

I will sell two of these and two of the above matching rear caps to make a set...$100 + shipping.

I also have two 4X4 caps, like these, with one little ding in each cap...a ding, not a dent. I can sell these with two rears above for $90 + shipping.
