Can anyone tell me what these hubcaps are off of? They measure 11 1/4 id

73-75 K20. The fronts are the same 69-75.

So these would not be correct caps for a 1972?

The chevy emblem is blue on the 72.

**rgreathouse** · 10-27-2013, 07:13 PM

So
If I painted the bowtie blue theyd basically appear correct?

Yeah,69-75 is the same style hubcap. The only difference is the center circle where the bow tie is. On 69-72,that circle is convex,painted black,and the bow tie is blue. On 73-75 that circle is concave,not painted,and the bow tie is painted yellow. The centers can be popped out on the later ones. Looking at your caps again I think they are 69-72s with the bow-ties re-painted yellow.

Sounds good... I took a gamble at $10 each hoping they were correct... Im going to have them polished and painted with blue bowties. They may not be 100% correct but theyll look good.

I think they are correct and someone painted the bows yellow. Either that,or someone popped the rear caps out and painted the centers black.
