Pretty decent set. Have some paint fade and a few small dings/scratches. These were later caps that i had the blue vinyl cut for. $115 shipped in the lower 48, a little more elsewhere. Money order preferred, but have paypal.

What year are these "correct" for? Thanks

**too much stuff** · 04-12-2012, 01:13 PM

They are for 69-72 with the blue bowtie. 73 to 77 or so had the yellow bowtie. Technically the 69-72 caps were also chrome with would split on the edges. In 73 they changed to stainless steel which these are.

**Bethewaz** · 04-12-2012, 01:37 PM

Would these be right for the 16" wheel (6 bolt) ?

**Bethewaz** · 04-12-2012, 01:43 PM

I remember being told blue were 3/4 ton and the yellow were 1/2 ton, but that is incorrect?

That is incorrect. All 69-72 caps had the blue, and 73 and newer went to yellow regardless of 1/2 or 3/4 or 1 ton. 1/2 ton caps are approx 10 1/2" across and 3/4 would be about 12" across.

Good to know! Thank you!

So, these 10-1/2 inchers in the below picture are for 73 and up? Sorry for all the questions!

**too much stuff** · 04-12-2012, 07:30 PM

Yes, those are 73 and newer that you pictured.

OK, That clears it up. The P.O. stated the yellow were correct for 72 but he was not right. Now I need 2 blue ones! (4x4)

bump...

NICE CAPS!! I put an NOS set of blue bowties on the back of my 1/2 ton 4x4 and they were dull in a matter of months..the later stainless caps like these hold a shine much better than the chrome steel version.

**nbrfd007** · 04-13-2012, 09:11 PM

Are the front caps original 4x4 or have they been cut out? If original, would you go $100.00 shipped?

Thanks,
Tim

They are original 4x4 caps. I would go $100 shipped if paid with money order.

one more way to tell 3/4 from 1/2 ton caps in a picture where you have no relative size reference is that the 1/2 ton caps all have a concave black center with bowtie (i.e. like all the ones pictured here) whereas all 3/4 ton caps have a convex center (i.e. the black center with the bow tie bulges out).

Back to sitting on my hands!

Nice caps, bump for ya!
