Hub Caps question

-
Can anybody tell me if any of these caps will fit our trucks? I'm pretty sure the small ones will. How about the full ones? Are they later? Thanks.

Re: Hub Caps question

The big ones came on 67-72 pickups. And the small ones came on 73-87 pickups.

Re: Hub Caps question

the full covers are a mis match. The one with the blue bow tie is original to our trucks, the 3 yellow bow ties are 73 & up. Not sure when they quit that style cap. 76 or so I'm thinking.
All four of them will fit a 1/2 ton 15 inch wheel.
The other ones, it looks like there are 3 1/2 ton, and 3 3/4 ton caps. The 1/2 ton ones will fit, the 3/4 ton ones will fit on the front wheels and may or may not fir the rear. I have dsiscovered that the dana hubs stick out more than the eaton hubs, and it is enough to keep those caps from fitting. All 6 of these ones are off mid 70's up till 87 on trucks, and possibly into the 90s on vans.

Re: Hub Caps question

I'd jump ont eh 4 full covers
you can paint the bow tie blue and have some decent *desirable* caps... even if you are faking the funk on 75% of them.

Re: Hub Caps question

LocDoc`s wheelcovers and hubcaps:
They`ll all fit.The wheel covers (blue or yellow bowtie) were used 69-75.The same goes for the dog dishes (not shown) that came on these trucks.The style hubcaps (dog dish) shown started in`76.Aren`t they all the same diameter?If so,they`re all 1/2t.My eyes could be decieving me,though.

Re: Hub Caps question


The lower left, and lower center... I swear they look bigger than the others, and the center one doesn't look to have the ribs on the sides of the center bulge. I may well be wrong... it is a very small photo.

I never noticed that, but I haven't seen them in person yet either.

You tell the difference between those type 1/2 and 3/4 ton caps by the recessed areas. 1/2 ton had 5, 3/4 ton had 6. Those have 5, 1/2 ton...
