TX Need 1 original chrome hub cap for 66

[Metalaroundstone]

I just lost one of my hubcaps on a bumpy road and can't find it. If you have an extra I would be much abliged. It does not have to be perfect. Thanks.

Sorry I was not more clear in my description. I need a 1/2 ton, chrome cap. Here is a picture of one on my truck. Mine caps aren't really in the best shape, but I have grown attached to them.

Just in case original is elusive.

Hi Pimpston,
Your hub cap looks good, but I am not sure what you mean by the inner ring. Is the inner ring for wheels with clips?

And how much do you want for this cap?

Thanks for your help.

I received an email notification that OEM4ME posted the following message on this thread, but it never showed up on the site. Here is his message:

.....Noooo, those caps with the inner ring are harder to find! ... say, would that happen to be a slim ring 3/4 ton cap? ......

[rvrfoot]

Ebay has one.

Yeah, I also saw the one on Ebay. It is beat up, expensive, and not a 1966 cap in that it does not have the recess around the scallop. I appreciate the tip however. Thanks

Yeah, I deleted my post about two seconds after entering it. Reason being it's none of my business what Pimpston gives away. He's very generous if ya'll have't noticed. The last thing anyone should do is interfere with good will. My bad.

i cant find it, but i did find these. these are the thinner inner ring. opps i think i made a clock from this more rare cap, sorry OEM4ME i didnt know they were rare.

back side

Sorry OE4ME for reposting something you decided to delete. It seemed like pertinent information. And I couldn't agree more about Pimpston's generosity in helping people in need of parts. He once sent me a hard to find steering shaft spring. Saved the day!

Sorry Pinpston for talking about you so openly. I am still looking for a chrome 1/2 ton hubcap. This is what the back side of one of my hubcaps looks like. The inside diameter is about 10-1/8". I have never seen ones like you are showing in your pictures. Can the inside ring just be removed and it would be the same as a 1/2 ton cap? Or would it be best to keep hunting for a cap made for a 1/2 ton?

it will work if the inner ring is removed, i did it and put the wider one in for very nice painted ones that had the thinner one. the one you have does have a rolled rim so it might be best to hold off til you find the correct one, it may fly off before a cruise...

Thanks for trying to help me out with this. I wouldn't feel good about cutting up a possibly rare hubcap anyway. I will continue my search. Thanks again.

Pimpston,

Not sure where we are on this, not intending to jump in front of anyone. I do need two 66' chrome hub caps for CC with clips, e.g. 8 3/4". Will also take one.

Thanks,
Les
