61 apache 30 where can I get these hubcaps?! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

scottmitchellrose · 03-16-2021, 02:00 PM

I have a 61 Apache 30 with a 9 foot (yes, that is correct- 2 were made that year) stepside. It was in several movies, one of which is "The Water is Wide" (story of Pat Conroy and the Gullah schoolchildren). Anyway, any idea where I can get 2 more of these 8 lug hubcaps (they are a bit like a pyramid, or .... well I won't say here what they really look like!).

Hershey's kiss is kind of what the hubcaps look like...

I do not know of any C20-C30 hubcaps that are being reproduced. If you have some local junkyards, you could check there or Ebay. Another option is to become a supporting member of this site so that you can post a WTB add in the classifieds.

Any 1T step side will have a 9 foot bed, IIRC. I have no idea about where you would find those hub caps. There is a hub cap store not far from my MiL's house. Next time I go by there, if I remember, I'll stop in to see if they have any. It's unlikely, given the age, but you never know...I'll let you know, if I do stop by. They were painted white when new, yes?

I think you are remembering correctly. I pulled apart a 9 foot step bed from a 65 C30 this weekend

I think Wheel Vintiques has them. Or you can contact Aspen truck parts in Arizona, they might have used units.

i had no idea! Well my cousin was wrong then- unfortunately cancer got him a few years back. If you have time and are willing to check- please. They were white once. THANK YOU! Scott

Thanks very much. If the other attempts fail I will do that.

They are the same hubcaps back to '57. They show up on EBay from time to time but are larger diameter than caps used on 1/2 tons.
