What type of wheel cover or hub cap was on a 71 C20 Cheyenne? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to figure out what kind of wheel cover or hub cap would have been on my truck originally. It's a 1971 C20 Cheyenne. The main reason I ask is this has a large hub on the back so normal covers I don't think would fit. ??

Pics appreciated...

Thanks,

Bob

69/70 CSTs and 71/72 Cheyennes and Cheyenne Supers had these,and they were optional on other trim levels:

Thanks Tim. Those are nice looking.

I bet they go for $300 a set. It seems like every hub cap I need is the most expensive ones.

At least I know what to look for now.

Bob, just know that there are two different types of the dog dish style hubby's. Someone should be able to chime in with the exact measurements, but the 3/4t were larger than the 1/2t. Sorry I don't have more info...

Thanks Nate. The plot thickens...

the 1/2t caps lay flatter across the face and are about squared around the edge.The 3/4t/1ts are slopeds with a softer bend around the outter edge,if you can`t eyeball the measurement or have a tape handy.The 73-75 caps are the same,except the center is concave and the bowtie is yellow.The centers can be bumped out (carefully) if that bothers you and the bowtie can easily be painted.
