22" factory GM transport wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone modified the 22" steel GM transport wheels to fit the old school center hub caps or baby moons. If so how did you attach them. Name: image.jpg

Never done this before...anyway you can show pic of tool you made and does the clips come with bolts? Drill size and did you tap it?

Userone · 01-02-2015, 04:20 PM

interesting.... may I ask how much the deposit amount was that you had to give the dealer?

Hummbusa · 01-02-2015, 05:15 PM

Did they bolt on? Any spacers?

Hummbusa · 01-02-2015, 06:11 PM

Looking good!

davepl · 01-02-2015, 07:33 PM

Not even my style but a masterful execution of it. Nice work - I can always appreciate craftsmanship and ingenuity!

rwade · 01-02-2015, 08:08 PM

I'll have to look for your build thread unless you could post a link. I'd love to see a pic when the beds on and all. Looks real good from what I could see. Nice work!

Steelie King · 01-02-2015, 08:29 PM

I have several sets and I'm looking to upgrade them with the caps...NevEno your truck looks killer.

Steelie King · 01-02-2015, 08:31 PM

Thanks for the info...

american revolution · 01-02-2015, 08:47 PM

Thanks for info

rydeordie · 01-03-2015, 09:54 AM

I like these. They look good….

1968aj · 01-03-2015, 10:59 AM

let me see if I get this. all dealers get new trucks in and remove these wheels. will they sell just the wheels with no tires?

Malamute · 01-03-2015, 11:30 AM

You could sell that tool for installing the clips. That looks like it makes easy work on where to attach them to the wheel. I like the paint color as well.

Stranny64 · 01-03-2015, 12:00 PM

Not trying to hijack this but does anyone know if they have 8 lug transport wheels???

I'm not aware of any 8-lug smooth steel transports for our trucks. Can always get ya a set of the 6-lugs and modify, come up with an adaptor set up Stranny64

I've still got some sets of the 22 GM Transports in the classified section of this forum. Also have the ability to provide clips, caps.

I haven’t put my bed on yet but I know it will hit the inside of the fenders just off measuring I think I’m going to have to use a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" spacer on the rear. I’ll put the bed on this weekend.. once the rain quits

Neveno,

any confirmation what correct spacer size needed for back wheels? you are a lot further than I am on my transit wheels, take the guessing out of the equation....does it need longer wheel studs after?

How does that tool that you made work? I don't understand...
Thanks

The tool is used to locate were holes need to be drilled. You take any cap, place clips inside the cap and measure were need to be placed evenly. The tool is just used to replicate the measurement over and over....

They put these on during transport to dealerships so that the custom wheels don't get damaged or stolen.

Is that a reproduction hub cap? If so where did you get them?
