H2 wheels with GMC center caps?

[Jahloha]

PS. I love the custom blue bowtie on your caps.

Also, what is this about me needing conversion lug nuts?

Something like these?

Yes, but those won't fit a 71 or 72. They require 9/16". Lug Nut King also has them listed.

I see you have a 70. With your disc conversion you may need 9/16" in front and 1/2" in rear.

I could be wrong, but I don't think these were chrome from the factory. At least the set I bought look to have been chromed after the fact.

Don't forget the lug nuts with the correct tapered snout and the "shoulder" threads for the fake black plastic lug nuts in the center cap, they screw down onto them.

I wound up getting everything except the wheels studs and the spacers I needed to clear the Dana60 off eBay. As a side benefit it (in my case) brings the rear track width out a bit, making it closer to the front. Why they had a narrower rear track than up front I cannot imagine. What possible advantage could there be? Stability? Beats me.

In my case, as mentioned in the post before mine, I needed 9/16" lug nuts because I had converted to '72 front discs, and post-70 parts are the larger lug stud. If you had all 1970 equipment I don't know if you could stick with 1/2" studs on these wheels. That'd be a good thing to know, maybe FirstOwner69 can speak to that.

Im going with the discs up from, kit from POL. And still considering the rear end, either Eaton rear disc kit or get a 14 bolt up in there.

Wow, by far the best looking looking "modern" option I've seen for the 8 luggers.

Dave, your trucks looks awesome!

H2 wheels were available in chrome or alloy type finish. I bought stock chrome factory wheels.

By conversion lugs I mean to be able to adapt to the external threads to mount the center caps. Since I did a front disc conversion I had to use 9/16" in front and 1/2" in rear. No big deal.

I have Eaton HO52 corporate rear end. No problem fitting center caps on the rear.

Hey guys, I just got my center caps in the mail and they are plastic? Was expecting a metal chrome plated.

Are your guys' plastic as well? Just want to make sure I have a similar product before I open every package.

Heres some pics:

[FirstOwner69]

Plastic is correct. However, your caps appear to be aftermarket.

Awesome, thanks for the quick feedback.

Did you see the addition I made to that response?

[mr48chev]

Dang those look good on Firstowner69's truck.

I'm going to have to start looking because the guys who buy those used H2s around here put 22s on them the day they buy them most of the time.

Thanks! I bought mine in Phoenix where hardly anyone with an H2 runs factory wheels. I found them on Craigslist for $100. They appeared to be new takeoffs. The young man selling them said his dad told him he wanted $100. I think he may have meant $100 each! Needless to say, I didn't hesitate.

Here's a more recent picture of the truck in its fully assembled state
