I have a 1963 GMC shortbed fleetside custom, does anyone know (or have pictures) of the original hubcaps? I want to bring the truck back to original. I'm looking to buy, so if you have some or know anyone who does I'd be interested. Thanks!!

I sent him pictures of the hubcaps I sent to you that I got from Trent. gmcguy.com was mistified by these as he had never seen one's like you now have.

Disregard info above . Had you mixed up with another member. Sorry.
Mystery year on these caps.

**aerotruk63** · 04-17-2012, 05:36 PM

I'm thinking yours were 61 then came the 62-63 with the bold face. This way they could manufacture a cap with the center removed for 4X4 applications.

Bingo! Those are Canadian caps. Used the old '55-'59 logo.61-early 62 had blue centers. Late 62-63 had red centers.

factorystock · 04-17-2012, 07:08 PM

'62-63 American caps are shown on photo below (red centers only-GMC logo similar to lettering on grill).'61 American GMC caps are similar to the American '55- '60 caps.

While we're talking about hubcaps... anyone got a pic of a chrome '62 Chev cap?

Heres a 61-63 chevy chrome cap

sodly · 04-23-2012, 10:04 AM

Thanks, Aerotruck. I've seen those pics for '62 but never a good, clear closeup of a '62 cap. Anybody got one? Maybe NOS?

1963c-10 · 04-23-2012, 10:06 AM

I can get a closer pic if needed.

sodly · 04-23-2012, 10:08 AM

Oh, cool. That's a good pic. Sorry, it wasn't there when I posted my last comment. That'll do. Thanks.
