Is there a company that makes reproduction dog dish hub caps for a 1968 Chevy C10?

I am just wanting to make sure that when I search for hub caps that I dont buy a reproduction set being passed off as original when they are not original.

I'm pretty sure that there are no reproductions being made for the 1967/68 hubcaps. You can still find some sets at swap meets and on this forum from time to time. Price is greatly dependent on condition.

Nope you are good.

Awesome and thanks!

It's not all that awesome, actually. I think the businesses that reproduce parts are missing the boat on hubcaps. I love OEM parts and prefer them over reproduction. But let us know when you find a nice set and how much you paid for them. We have Wheel Vintiques making the wheels in various widths yet hubcaps that everyone wants are scarce as hen's teeth. Such a simple part to reproduce and each customer will buy four. Even glovebox doors are reproduced. I don't get it. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone come out with them. In the meantime I'm hanging tight with what I have

I agree with Special-K on this one. It seems that there are dog dish hubcaps for some years, but nobody makes the 67/8 style. Just make sure if you find some they are for 1/2 ton, not the 3/4 ton.

I bought a set of nice restored 67 Doggy Dish caps and thought about selling them until I got lowballed on them . They now are very nice Wall Art as I dont deal very well with people offering half what they are worth if that . Besides , Im gonna build a couple of 67 trucks one day .

I am not sure what the difference is between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton hubcaps but I will try to find out.

3/4 Ton have an inside lip and attach to the wheel with clips. 1/2 Ton have no inside lip and attach over the nubs of the wheels. I'm sure that someone can post pictures or do a search on the site - there should be plenty of pictures.
