Help me ID this wheel?

My pal Donkey put Cragars on his '73 so I swapped him an old thrift store skateboard for his stockers.
Pretty good for a buck spent twenty years ago and he got a great piece for his budding '70s skateboard collection.
I'm doing a '78 crossmember swap in my '66 so I needed the 5-lug wheels.

Here's his truck.


I got these home and noticed that there are no nubs for dog-dish caps.
I know that ain't right because I put '70s Chevy truck wheels on my '60 Olds when I went with 15s and they have em.
They're 7 inchers, about 4 1/4" backspace (not sure I measured right) Anyone have an idea?


While I have your attention. I have this front frame clip from the aforementioned '78. FREE FREE FREE
I'm hoping someone will use it so I don't have to scrap good steel. It's SOLID and straight.
Shoot me a pm if you're interested.


thanks -Rick

Re: Help me ID this wheel?

A lot of full size GM cars were 5 on 5". They would have an attaching piece that would bolt on with the lugnuts that the hubcap bolted to. Like the Olds, Buick, Cadillac wire hubcaps. That's what it looks like.

By the way nice truck!

Thanks for the info rwhit57. I remember those caps now. I could probably screw a bullet to the adapter, no?
