They only get "wet" if you get caught with your pants-er top off.

OK Orange, I gotta ask you a question. I liked the looks of your blazer so much I bought a set of rallies from Mike Files and some derby caps off ebay. I just came from the garage and the derby caps don't fit. I don't have the same rallies as you, mine don't have the five holes, they have 10 smaller and more rectangular holes. what am I missing? Wrong rallies, wrong derby's , maybe a bracket? Any help would be great!

Thanks, Scott

I will answer for him(orange's dad). These a special built 10" wide rallys with 6 lugs on a car center section (SS Nova -Corvette etc.) The regular 4X4 caps will not fit the center hole. The caps shown are like the ones you find on SS cars. These caps still did not fit right (loose) but he made a foam washer that goes on the outer ring.(upholstery foam) Worked like a charm and the hole for the front lockout was perfect fit.

It looks like those are real "truck rallyes". The ones I have are "car rallyes", they have three small "tits" that the caps snap into the truck ones don't. The truck rallyes used the lug nuts to hold on the 4x4 centers. Like my dad said, we had to tighten up the fit (reproduction wheels + reproduction centers = never fits right). If I remember tomorrow, I'll take a few pics of how they fit.

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Ok, everybody quit adding to this thread and making it come up to the top again, I am getting mad that mine is not done with the top down. It is about 75 degrees right now in Houston, TX. Wish I was out tooling around in my topless Blazer. No care in the world.
