Factory wheels / hubcaps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VTKidder · 09-17-2003, 11:00 AM

Does anyone know where I can find a set of the factory wheels and hubcaps that would have come on my 6 lug '69 C-10? Are they something special, or just a plain jane steel wheel with a '69 hubcap? Never stumbled across a set for sale, or seen anything in a catalog. Just wondering. Thanks....

The wheels are standard 15 inch six lug steel wheel. The hubcaps you are looking for are like these. The chey ones have a blue bowtie, and this is a 4x4 set but you get the idea. Painted hubcaps have white paint where these are chrome.

Check e-bay and make sure you get ones for a 1/2 ton not a 3/4 ton.

Thanks Jeff....figured a stock guy like yourself would be able to answer that one.

Dog dishes, BABY!!!

ANYBODY can buy and install an aftermarket wheel, it takes perseverence and class to track down a nice set of these and use them.:p

I'll be the first to set the record straight, and say I've never been referred to as 'classy'.

I just want the ol' '69 to have a touch of 30 years ago in her when done. I'm an aftermarket bozo like most others, but these trucks look far too cool stock to mess with IMO.

I happened to make reference to everybodies favorite clown in a post a while back. It happened to ruffle feathers (and you can tell I HATE to do that

). It's precisely why I created this little fellow I like to call "Boz-All".

I saw the thread; don't remember what it was for though. Maybe that unibody hackjob, or something along those lines. Chuckled though.
