72 k15 1/2ton hubcaps

[72 k15]

What do the 1/2 4x4 hubcaps look like I had the 4 nub white wheels and white bumpers

[special-K]

The 1500 caps look the same as Chevy except they have red "GMC" in the center instead of a blue bowtie. Here is a K1500 cap, same as a K/10 or K/5 for front

Here is the rear, same as C1500

Are they all silver or did they make white ones?

[special-K]

They made painted and chrome. In '67 & '70-'72 painted caps where white. In '68/'69 they were silver grey (argent).

if you had white bumpers, you may have had white caps. If you have a PO3 code on your SPID, you have chrome caps, if you had P01, you had full wheel covers. If nothing, then white.
Although, I have to admit, I don't ever recall seeing white K-anything front caps (emphasis on K). ??
EDIT: However, the 72 Vehicle Info Kit does list white hubcaps on C and K 10 Custom (base) models, so I guess there were white cutout caps in front. Again, if no PO3 or PO1 on your SPID, this is what you would have had.

I have never seen white K front caps either thats why I made this I dont have a PO3 OR PO1 Maybe they didnt put any hubcaps on if it didnt have those two?

Yes, it's a very good question. While the truck VIK is a little vague, I thought I'd snoop on the Blazer side of this and I think I found an answer. See below - white caps on the base model for 2WD vehicles only. It doesn't have the little "CS/CE models only" caveat in the truck VIK, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there are no white K5/10/15 front caps (and therefore none would have been on the back either) - just white steel wheels.

To make things even more confusing -the PICTURE sure makes it look like there are indeed white K caps. It's not the C5 base model page, it's the K5 base model page, and it indeed shows what looks like white caps. Perhaps it's a C shown in the pic. Who knows... ha.

Here is a K5 blazer pic I save years ago with no other info.

Thanks

Tell us what you do have on your SPID. I am looking for trim options, such as Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, etc. I don't thing a 4wd got hubcaps unless chrome cap option ordered or the truck was a Cheyenne or Cheyenne Super.

Looks like 3/4 ton axles and caps to me. Pretty sure the front ones were made by someone.

[special-K]

I was thinking the same thing, Eric. Look like 3/4-1t caps. Wheels look like custom 16" or possibly 17".

I have no idea how to add pictures. :|

Doesn’t say anything on my truck about trim level I’ll say it’s nothing fancy, so if you did get those hubcaps did you still have white rims?

I would say your correct and on very solid ground.

Yes, white wheels. Does your truck have all black knobs, waffle pattern peddle pads, and no chrome around windows outside, including wing vents? Then it is a Custom/no trim option.

Correct it says 1500 custom on the side.
