Looking for used wheels or original hubcaps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1973 Chevy Suburban that my father bought new, we had it restored last winter. The only thing left that I'm missing is either a nice looking set of wheels for a fairly low price, or the original Chevy hubcaps that went with this thing. Here's a couple pics, I think you'll know what I mean when you see them. It looks "unfinished" without something nice on the rims. The beauty rings just aren't cutting it. If you have either of these options or could toss me suggestions on where to start looking, I'd sure appreciate it. It's a four-wheel drive, so I need to take that into account also.

Nice job on the restoration. Can you show a photo or two of the rear interior doors??:-)
Thanks, Dan

What do you need pics of rear interior doors for? I'm just curious, I can post them, but they won't look like '73 doors cause they aren't. When we cut the running boards off to remove the body from the frame the whole body fell to the frame, it was rusted to hell, so we bought an '86 body and put it on the '73 frame and kept the '73 front end and everything else, so it's actually an '86 body with a '73 front end and frame, engine, drivetrain, and tranny, but I can still show pics of the doors if you want them.

Thank's for the offer. No photos needed of '86. I to have a '73
that had a case of cancer. My rear doors are '79 and I'm in need of '73 rear doors. I'm building it as orignal as possible.
Thanks Dan
