Help Identifying Hubcaps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Huskerboy2 · 02-12-2007, 12:58 PM

Hello all. I'm usually over on the 67-72 board, but I was wondering if you all could help me identify the years for these 3/4 ton hubcaps. I'm guessing they were 76-87 or maybe 77-87. I've got a set of NOS ones to sell and I would like to know exactly what years they are correct for. Thanks!

I had a set just like those on my 74 3/4 ton

Are you sure they are 3/4 ton? What is their diameter? 1/2 and 3/4 ton caps look alike, but are different in size. I can't be of much help on the year break however.

LMC has them as 76/87 and WOW 59.95 each.....

I thought the 3/4 ton caps had a 6 "spoke" pattern and the 1/2 ton caps had a 5 "spoke" pattern like those pictured.
I have a set I pulled off a '86 Chev 1/2 ton 4x4 that look like that, but not nice like that. I am pretty sure they were stock on the truck.

My 1985 1/2 ton 2wd Chevy had those caps with stock white wheels

Looking at the pics in the LMC catalog the 5 "spokes" are way deeper than the 6 spoke which would lead one to believe the deeper 5's would be the 3/4 ton and possibly 1/2 ton 4x4 due to the front hubs.

I had a set on my d0nor 4x4 it was a 1 ton 1983

I believe what you have is the 1/2 ton caps. I had a set like this on my 74 Cheyenne 1/2 ton. But I see two sets of the 5 spoke design like yous on ebay being advertised as 3/4 ton caps.

Here is a same vintage six spoke 3/4 ton cap, which is about 12 inches wide:

Restrorob · 02-12-2007, 10:19 PM

Since I blew the on-line pic up they are listed as 1/2 ton.
