Here is a shot of mine when I had the steel wheels and hub caps on it.

Here is with the new wheels.

Stock wheels which I powder coated and a set of junky 5 dollar swap meet hubcaps.

The hubcaps are real beat but for a five spot I felt like I could make them work for a while. I stripped the factory clear coat off the hubcaps which considerably helped their appearance. You can see a bit of before and after in these pics.

And in case anyone notices, the caps started out with gold bow ties but when I stripped them down, they were painted blue beneath the gold from the factory.

They came out looking pretty nice. What did you use to clean them up.

I used Methylene Chloride to strip the clear coat off, but that's not something most folks have around their shop. A good strong paint stripper will do the same thing, just not as fast, and is more available.

The wheels were a basic sandblast and white powder coat.

John,
Looks great, How much did it cost for white wheel powder coating? I'm considering it.

Thanks Desert. They were $75 per wheel to get them done and the guy did a great gob! I was going to go with the newer HD wheels, but am very happy I decided to go this route. Love the steel wheels with hubcaps!

Looks awesome. Love the look with the rears being wider.

Great photo of a stock GMC 3/4 ton. Could you please add this to the 60-66 section http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...0-66+existance

kdml · 09-27-2013, 07:21 PM

Any vendors make repro. center caps for a 3/4 to Chevy K20? I am running the stock 16" steel wheels and would love some caps. Is my only source used?

Thanks
Doug
