1968 Chevy C10 hubcaps and 15 inch steel wheels with rear disc brakes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HeavyHauler · 01-27-2020, 01:46 PM

I am wanting to run some stock 1968 Chevy C10 dog dish style hub caps with 15 inch steel wheels that will fit the rear disc brake setup that I have on the back. It is a Captain Fab rear disc setup with D52 calipers.

Does anyone know of a steel wheel that will work with that type of hub cap and disc brake setup?

The hubcaps will work if the wheel has nubs and is 5 or 6 lug truck pattern. Actually, they'd work if you have the GM car pattern as well. I'd look for four nub wheels, which are from trucks with front disc brakes. The three nub drum brake wheels won't work on front disc brakes, only drums.

Yes, for 6-lug disc wheels you need the '71-'91 1/2t 4wd/Blazer/Jimmy wheels.

I was thinking THAT, AND that the 73-up 5 lug steel wheels will wor, because those were ALL disc brake wheels...obviously.....

I should have mentioned that I converted the front and rear to disc brakes 5 lug with 5x5 bolt pattern. It seems I should be able to run the 73-up 5 lug steel wheels front and back.

Now all I gotta do is find the steel wheels and dog dish caps! LOL!

I appreciate all the help guys!

If you find any extra 67 or 68 dog dish hub caps for a decent price, let me know.
Mine came with chrome dog dishes (were still on it, when I bought it, silly me tossed them...)

There's folks that sell new wheels, that are priced within reason....
