Was that clock/cap from the Vancouver area?

Cut a piece of adhesive vinyl to go in the bowtie, and you'll never know that hole existed.

Nine Mile Falls, WA. He put it up online for $25 or $30 or best offer. I offered $20 plus shipping and he agreed. Figured it was a good price for a decent deluxe cap. No cracks on the rim, just the hole drilled through the middle.

Hmmmm....I didn't think of that. Ive got 5 on the truck now (side mount spare), and 3 for the trailer project. So it'll be a clock for now. But if I need it in the future....that may be a good option.

Couple of pics of the finished clock project. 5 minute project and cool piece of truck art for the shop.

That's cool! Nice job of repurposing.

Oh great, 61-63 hubcaps just got even harder to find.

Looks very cool, but seems to be running a little fast.

Haha....right on. Really wish it didn't have the hole in it, but am glad that it still has a use. Thanks for all the compliments on the easiest project of the year so far.

Yeah, but I didn't do the damage to this one. Just repurposed it.

I was joking, and now predict a run on those hubcaps for garage clocks.

1963c-10 · 12-12-2013, 01:58 PM

haha...funny you said that. Aerotruk63 has one in the works I believe.

How common are the '64-65 (? 66) GMC caps? They appear to be like the one in post 67 & the ones in post 77. I picked them up briefly but can't remember if they were definitely the clip style. I came across three at a locally owned store that sells/produces vintage furniture & such. They have patina & some dents which could probably be pounded out for the most part. Just wasn't sure if they might be worth grabbing.

Andice · 02-14-2015, 10:42 PM

They are worth grabbing.

Andice · 02-14-2015, 10:44 PM

When folks ask about my truck and how difficult it was to find parts for the restoration I often tell them that the hubcaps were the most difficult items to find.

Cool. I'll go back & take a closer look at them. Maybe I can make a deal. I wish all four were there though. That's a great looking truck you have!

Finally got everything together the way I wanted to use my dog dish hubcaps.
