Forgive me if this is covered, I couldn't find what I am looking for using the search function.
I have been buying replacement dog dish caps on ebay (and getting a good deal) for my 70 C10. My OG caps are smashed, so I bought two and they were quite a bit taller, that is to say they extend away from the wheel more. I bought another pair and they are lower, closer to the wheel. I'm thinking that the taller caps might be 3/4 tons caps? Here is a pic of the taller caps:https://www.instagram.com/p/BN-b3QGgD3E/ This is driving me nuts, because I like the taller caps much more and I want to get two more to match without buying the lower ones by mistake. Does anyone have a clue what the difference is? Thanks in advance. ~J |

Re: C10 OEM 2wd dog dish cap types
Of all the many caps I have seen I have never noticed one taller than the other. 1/2t and 3/4t are distinctly different and unmistakable. There is no mistaking one for the other. The 3/4t (and 1t) caps are about 1 1/2" larger diameter. 3/4t won't fit a 1/2t wheel and vise versa

Re: C10 OEM 2wd dog dish cap types
I have noticed an auction on ebay for k5 caps. Were those different than the 2wd trucks?

Re: C10 OEM 2wd dog dish cap types
Only difference would be the caps for the front wheels would have a hole in the center for the 4WD hub.

Re: C10 OEM 2wd dog dish cap types
There were only two types of hubcaps, 1/2t and 3/4t & 1t, small and big. Blazer/Jimmy is 1/2t. Of course, you could say there are four if you include 4wd front caps that are the same as 2wd except a whole in the center for the hub

Re: C10 OEM 2wd dog dish cap types
This is a perfect example of a thread that is useless without pictures.
