Look here for my 3/4T hubcaps. If you take two & two, you can have them for
$125 shipped.

Alan
These dog dish hubcaps fit right on all 1/2T wheels with the "nubs". Here is another of the caps. I am trying to show the bright silver metalic finish.

Please let me know if you would like them, as others are asking.

Yes Frank, I am interested, but are all 4 caps in as good of condition as one one in the picture?? and how much would you like to have for the set??

**special-K** · 08-25-2005, 08:04 AM

I just want to say sorry if I botched anything up.I was going on common knowledge.This is the first I`ve heard of pre-69 caps designed for nubs.I can see by the lip that they are.I`ve learned something new.GM must have started using the`69-style wheels near the end of`68 and made caps to fit.Sales were booming more with each model year,possibly exhausting parts supplies sending GM scrambling for new orders.That would also explain the difference in the two pairs of 3/4t caps Frank has.It would also explain why there was so much N.O.S. available for 20+ years.It only depleted because the trucks became collectible and big vendors like GoldenState went around and bought it up.

The original 68 'dog dish' caps that came on my beater popped right on my 73-78 stock steel chevy truck 5x5's when I did my disc brake swap. I had 5 lugs up front & 6 lugs out back, all w/the dog dish caps. I later swapped to later model taxi/cop car dog dish caps. They look very similar to the truck versions & you can (could) get them new from GM.
