Hub caps anyone? 1966 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Truckstr · 11-17-2006, 09:30 AM

Good morning all, haven't posted in a while. It's been busy (long story).

I have been looking for a couple of hubcaps for my 1966 Chevy 10 pickup. The ones that I need are the white painted ones with the red painted center (except for the "bowtie - it's white.) I have a chance to buy some, BUT the guy says that they fit a 3/4 ton truck. They look the same, but I don't know if they fit my truck or not. Anybody here know? Isn't the diameter of the hubcaps (covers the center/lugs section only) different on a 1/2 and 3/4 ton truck?

Thanks in advance for the help!

(P.S. I love my '66 "baby"

)

The 3/4 ton hub caps are bigger. Sorry.

That's what I was thinking. Oh, well.

Edited by ModeratorMy Grandfather's truck (the one in my sig.) has all four, but 2 of them are bent up enough to be pretty difficult to repair.

I'm sure I've had some over the years with all of the parts trucks I had, but I don't think I have anything now. The last set I remember having was off of another 64 I had, but I think they're long gone now. I'll look this weekend to make sure. Did you try LMC or one of the other vendors yet?
