Re: Hupcap question. Metallurgy?
Reading between the lines here, are you people telling me the painted hubcaps for these trucks are made of brass??

Re: Hupcap question. Metallurgy?
All '67-'71 'chrome" caps are actually chrome over brass ( notorious for cracking, splitting and denting easily ). '72 " chrome" was a transition year, some were chrome over brass, some got the new improved, and much more durable stainless steel.

Re: Hupcap question. Metallurgy?
Visuals are great. Original chrome over brass. This is why they are rarely seen on '69-72 Chevy or GMC.
