EDIT : these are '66 caps... I was only going by the ad. I don't claim to know everything!

eBay item number:

251420085523

I know some of you have mentioned searching for these... happened to see them while wandering around there this morning.

NOTE : the ad states they were 'restored' .

You sure those are just '66??? I had a set of those on my '64 and they were oem. Looked identical.....

quick glance 64/65 look the same as the 66 but 66 has the small rib for reinforcement the 64 and 65 did not see this post they are chrome and one is repop but you can see the difference http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=432776

Yes, they are 66.

AcampoDave · 01-09-2014, 08:28 PM

Is it just the camera view and lighting, or does the one on the bottom right appear to be dented in?

**pimpston65** · 01-09-2014, 08:51 PM

i bet they hit $200

Downlow2xfo · 01-09-2014, 08:57 PM

Here's my factory ones on the 65 I have.

**jayoldschool** · 01-09-2014, 09:21 PM

Those are 66 caps, too. See the raised ring around the center? The 64 and 65 caps don't have the raised part.

Here's a clock made from a 64/65 cap.

murdoc · 01-09-2014, 11:25 PM

which are more rare? the 64/65 or the 66?

I have a total of 10 painted dog dish hubcaps. They were acquired through three separate purchases. Are all 66's. Was I just lucky?

I didn't !

Then again, I don't care much for the stock caps so not likely something I'd notice.

Nice to learn new things...

I have taught Woo something. I feel like I have officially arrived! No longer a noob. Do have to admit, I only learned that info when I was doing my research while looking to buy a set of caps.

Here's my pure speculation why there might be more 66 style caps around. Caps were a popular dealer add on, and I would think that it would be reasonable to hypothesize that once the 66 cap was tooled, that was all that was available to dealer parts counters for the remainder of the 60s/70s. I managed to find a set of 64-65 caps, and I can say that the lack of the reinforcing rib makes it easy to push the center of the cap in when installing.
