Re: What hubcaps/wheel covers would have been original?

Keith,

Thanks man. The "farm gas cap" is just a shop towel I stuffed in there since I have the gas tank out right now. I had the carb rebuilt and tank "renewed" and I plan on just replacing the entire fuel line also.

The indentical painted hubcap was used up until 1978 ( but bowtie painted gold 73-78). Starting in 1979, all hubcaps were made from light weight aluminum for fuel efficiency.
So these in this picture, are they "hubcaps" or "wheel covers?"

I just spoke with dad (original owner) and he is sure he HAS the originals! It will be next spring before we can get into his garage for a thorough search but if he has them, I want to go back to them.

Were the wheels originally white on base model (250 I6, 3 on column manual) trucks?
