Re: Hubcaps
Was that clock/cap from the Vancouver area?

Re: Hubcaps
Cut a piece of adhesive vinyl to go in the bowtie, and you'll never know that hole existed.

Re: Hubcaps
Nine Mile Falls, WA. He put it up online for $25 or $30 or best offer. I offered $20 plus shipping and he agreed. Figured it was a good price for a decent deluxe cap. No cracks on the rim, just the hole drilled through the middle.

Re: Hubcaps
Hmmmm....I didn't think of that. Ive got 5 on the truck now (side mount spare), and 3 for the trailer project. So it'll be a clock for now. But if I need it in the future....that may be a good option.

Re: Hubcaps
Couple of pics of the finished clock project. 5 minute project and cool piece of truck art for the shop.

Re: Hubcaps
Haha....right on. Really wish it didn't have the hole in it, but am glad that it still has a use. Thanks for all the compliments on the easiest project of the year so far.

Re: Hubcaps
Yeah, but I didn't do the damage to this one. Just repurposed it.

Re: Hubcaps
How common are the '64-65 (? 66) GMC caps? They appear to be like the one in post 67 & the ones in post 77. I picked them up briefly but can't remember if they were definitely the clip style. I came across three at a locally owned store that sells/produces vintage furniture & such. They have patina & some dents which could probably be pounded out for the most part. Just wasn't sure if they might be worth grabbing.

Re: Hubcaps
When folks ask about my truck and how difficult it was to find parts for the restoration I often tell them that the hubcaps were the most difficult items to find.

Re: Hubcaps
Cool. I'll go back & take a closer look at them. Maybe I can make a deal. I wish all four were there though. That's a great looking truck you have!
