TX Need 1 original chrome hub cap for 66

[Metalaroundstone]

I just lost one of my hubcaps on a bumpy road and can't find it. If you have an extra I would be much abliged. It does not have to be perfect. Thanks.

Sorry I was not more clear in my description. I need a 1/2 ton, chrome cap. Here is a picture of one on my truck. Mine caps aren't really in the best shape, but I have grown attached to them.

Just in case original is elusive.

Hi Pimpston,
Your hub cap looks good, but I am not sure what you mean by the inner ring. Is the inner ring for wheels with clips?

And how much do you want for this cap?

Thanks for your help.

I received an email notification that OEM4ME posted the following message on this thread, but it never showed up on the site. Here is his message:

.....Noooo, those caps with the inner ring are harder to find! ... say, would that happen to be a slim ring 3/4 ton cap? ......

Sorry OE4ME for reposting something you decided to delete. It seemed like pertinent information. And I couldn't agree more about Pimpston's generosity in helping people in need of parts. He once sent me a hard to find steering shaft spring. Saved the day!

Sorry Pinpston for talking about you so openly. I am still looking for a chrome 1/2 ton hubcap. This is what the back side of one of my hubcaps looks like. The inside diameter is about 10-1/8". I have never seen ones like you are showing in your pictures. Can the inside ring just be removed and it would be the same as a 1/2 ton cap? Or would it be best to keep hunting for a cap made for a 1/2 ton?

it will work if the inner ring is removed, i did it and put the wider one in for very nice painted ones that had the thinner one. the one you have does have a rolled rim so it might be best to hold off til you find the correct one, it may fly off before a cruise...

Thanks for trying to help me out with this. I wouldn't feel good about cutting up a possibly rare hubcap anyway. I will continue my search. Thanks again.
