Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I run my 67 on original steel wheels. I wouldn't run anything else. The looks and comments I get everwhere I go make it a no brainer!
I've been off the site the last 4 mobths rebuilding the wife's kitchen. I can't wait to get back into my shop this summer. |

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
These look nice on this '66,which would look just as good on a 67-72:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Chewychevy67,
The tires are 820-15 Firestone black walls. They are from Coker Tire and are as close to the tires you would have gotten if you purchased the C10 model in 1967. They are bias-ply and do track groves in the road more so then steel belted tires do. Just a heads up, but my wife says I drive like a little old lady so the bias-plys ride fine for me. DaBigKahuna, I will get out to my backyard shop and get a few close up pictures for you. I have a set of original white and red 67 hubcaps I use when running errands around town, don't what to temp anyone with the stainless ones. It took me about five years to find and purchase the set you see on my truck in the pictures, so I plan on using them once I start putting the C10 in shows. Just had to throw a picture of myself in there yesterday so all of you would know how crazy I am about my 67. My Dad owned one when I was a kid, I guess thats what makes my truck so special to me. |

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
What center caps are those and how are they attached? I have been looking for a center cap alternative. I bought 4x4/Van wheels, fully restored them, and then realized that it is a ***** to find cool center caps for these 6 luggers.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Everyone is welcome to help me get the facts straight, I'm no hubcap expect.
Those are original issue for 1967, just polished stainless steel version. Chevy also had a white and red painted version of the same dogdish hubcaps. It took me years of collecting to get a whole set for my truck. In 1968 chevy had the same hubcaps as in 1967 only sporting different colors. Here is a picture of the white and red cap issued in 1967. Does anyone have a picture of a 1968 cap for chevlwb68 to see? All the dogdish caps for both those years just snap onto the original wheels. The wheel and the cap were made for each other. You guys got to admit they do make a statement together. I have always leaned towards the original, but there are a lot of good looking wheels and caps out there. It's all about, "what blows your dress up". Hope it was ok to use that old saying!

Here is a picture of my 68 caps. They were the original ones on my truck but I have had them repainted. The black and silver is original colors but the bowtie was originally red. They snap on the out side on little nubs. They were on the original 6 lug wheels and now are on a 5 lug set from a 1980 GMC. Fits both wheels fine.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Ok, so what I'd like to know is, will C10 hubcaps fit on my C20? I know that they are different bolt patterns (6 vs 8), but figured it was worth a shot to ask.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I'm pretty sure that will not work. You have at least 16" rims right? My C20 has/has had 16 or 16.5 and the hubcaps are much bigger than the ones that go on 15" rims.
