In need of GMC hubcap
Guys, a friend of mine is looking for a chrome dogdish type hubcap for his 68 stepside. I haven't seen his yet so does anyone even have a picture of one?. I believe he said the "GMC" is in red.
Thanks for any replies, Bill

GMC Hubcaps
Once you have a picture of what the GMC hubcap looks like, you may want to check the following website: http://www.hubcaps.org/
Then click on GMC as they have an extensive listing with notations as to year, etc. They are not cheap, but they are absolutely great people to deal with and very honest. Hope this helps. Occasionally eBay has some listing as well. |

The cap in the pic is not a 69...must be 73+. So he is sure he needs the one in the pic?

Thanks Pickmup
I printed a copy of the picture off on a non-color printer at work and gave it to him and he said it was like what he needed...I went on to describe it to him as chrome with one red ring surrounding the GMC in red as well. So best I can tell this is the one he needs.
thanks again.

Bgood,
Pickemup is saying that you are most-likely looking at the WRONG hubcap because they are VERY similar. 69's had raised edges that are pretty distinctive. ![]() Get a look before some guy at work flakes you around. What the heck you doin' his leg work for anyway? ![]() Just kidding! ![]()

Thanks for the insight Catseye... I guess I really should get a look at his original cap.I seem to recall the raised edges on a set of painted caps that my father once owned. This old guy that I'm trying to help is a partially retired, partially disabled, guard at the place where I work, And he's about more trouble than he's worth..But I guess I feel a kinship to him since he drives an old GM truck

![]() Once you find out exactly what it looks like, just keep a search going on e-bay til you find one. Decent drivers come up in onesies-twosies and are usually pretty cheap. good luck...

This is a '67-'68 GMC dog dish hub cap. They came in different color combinations, some painted, some chrome.
