'49-'50 3100 series? My '50 originally came with them.

'47-'53, depending on the diameter, 1/2 tons were smaller diameter than the 3/4 and 1 tons.

**68bowtie** · 12-07-2019, 02:22 PM

Thanks. It’s approximately 11” OD and 8.75” ID.

if you decide to sell it, I'd be interested for a wall hanger..

I like that classic style font

that is a 3/4 or 1 ton.

also, being white with black lettering (instead of stainless) suggests that it is a korean war era cap (53-55). I dont know if the 3/4 or 1 ton 54-55 changed design like the 1/2 ton did (I think they did, went to the big chevy symbol instead of the lettering), otherwise you could say its a 53 for sure.

Here's my wall décor which is approx. 9.75" OD, 7.5" ID. Gray background. The OP's hub cap also looks gray. Korean war was '50 thru '53.

Thanks everyone, good info. I wasn't even sure if this hubcap was truck related.

Cool! I have searched all over and haven't found a picture of another gray version with black letters.

Mine's hanging up too, with all my 67-72 stuff...

oops, I had the years of the war wrong, but I knew the 53 was the year without a lot of stainless. my current truck has a 53 front clip and the front emblem is in poor shape, I had the cab too and it had the painted glovebox door and speaker trim too.

One of those that isn't beat up or rusted up is somewhat of a rarity in it's own right. Probably trading material than cash greenie material.
