WA 3/4T 4x4 Hubcaps for Jeff's bowtie's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PICKMUP · 02-07-2018, 10:01 PM

Here's a set I just converted & restored for Jeff. They were originally nice caps but I worked out the dents and polished the faces to make all of them match. I included new decals. Maybe he will show us when he gets them installed.

I still have a set of GMC that I can also convert. $400 with original finish or $500 worked with polished faces.

Sorry for my ignorance. A set of 3/4 ton 4x4 hubcaps go for $400-$500 ?

I’m currently looking for some for my 72 k5, just had no clue they were that spendy.

No buddy, restored. Everything doesn't have to be new to be nice. These are nicer than N.O.S. They were never that shiny new.

roOteran, you don't need 8-lug caps do you? If you have 6-lugs you need K/5-K/10 caps and nice sets can be had for 1/2 the cost in general. Far more plentiful originally and after the years have passed, with 8-lug trucks living a generally rougher life as well as few fancy trucks.

PICKMUP · 02-16-2018, 01:14 PM

Like specialK said, K5 1/2T caps are about half the cost of the 3/4Ts. I normally don't do that "highly-highly" polished finish because they have to all be ground down and brought back to shine like that.
They are much closer to the look of the '69-'72 original caps (the originals were "chrome". We have all been running so many later year stainless, that has a duller brushed look, and forget how shiny the original were.

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 02-16-2018, 05:21 PM

Not the best pics but the caps are awesome!!!!!

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 02-16-2018, 05:39 PM

And will be perfect on these !!!!

Vintage Windmills · 02-16-2018, 09:32 PM

Very nice! What wheels are those Jeff? Specs?

**Jeff's bowtie's** · 02-16-2018, 10:18 PM

They are the old 9.75X16.5 wheels with 35/12.50/16.5 BF Goodrich A/T powdercoated in white

**cst204x4** · 02-17-2018, 12:14 AM

Very nice,I wish you could still buy those bfg,s

a Good Man · 02-17-2018, 03:10 AM

Is it possible to send pictures more clearly I need a new kit for my truck

roOstersan · 02-17-2018, 11:02 AM

You were right... just 6 lugs. Once I get them powder coated I’ll be looking for a set of GMC 4x4 caps. You said they’re pretty easy to find a decent set?

Thanx for the help!

PICKMUP · 02-17-2018, 08:30 PM

None of these stainless caps are "easy" to find, but there are more 1/2T than 3/4T. GMC are a little harder to find.

I have one nice set of GMC 4x4 left.

bmfm64 · 02-20-2018, 09:52 PM

Frank- can you do 500 shipped on the GMC caps? I can call you with payment.

I have at least a two week workload, before I can start on a set, so order early. I will include the black outer ring decals (you install).
Remember, Washington State will charge sales tax on everything.

I called and left you a message. Give me a ring when you have a minute.
