3/4 ton hubcap ?
I just bought a set of these hubcaps for my 71 K20, but they are a set of rears. I was wondering if a guy could cut the front caps to clear my front hubs?
Also, what would be the best way to accomplish this. Thanks David Also, i found a small resource for these, pm me if you have been looking for them for a while.

The best thing is to try and find the correct front caps with holes in them if possible. Maybe you have already tried to find some and couldn't ? I know they can be hard to find the correct front ones.
Do you want to sell two from the set you bought? If so, send me a PM with a price. Darren

if for whatever reason you cannot find the correct hubcaps with the hub cutout, try and find a set of the 73 up hubcaps with the yellow bowtie. these seem to be much more common, so your conscience wouln't bother you after cutting them!

73-77 or so. They will look identical, except yellow bowties. The FE cutouts will look like your pic, with a hole
 There is a later style that is completely different in appearance

Where did you get these hub caps? I can't seem to find it anymore but I once had a link to a site that sold reproduction Hub Caps.
If I'm not mistaken but 73-77 Front (open Hub) Caps are the same as 69-72 Front Caps...I guess what I'm saying is if you bought them from a similar site if they were all out of the 67-72 vintage you could just order a front set of 73-77's? If this was a private deal...well none of the above applies

Yep, that is the site, but i guess I got lucky and got the last set of bright caps, demi told me that he got a real nice set of painted caps after i got mine. I just figured they had a bunch, but i guess they they only had one set?
Sorry Guys David

Griesel72 is right. When he told me yesterday the place had a set I almost had a heart attack. It all depends when you call. I spoke to the guy yesterday and was delighted to find out he had a set of the painted ones - they were his last set.
I told him they're going on a restored truck and needed to be extremely nice. I've been calling this place for a long time now and never had any luck. I have a set of the chrome caps in really nice condition, but I also wanted a nice set of the painted ones as well. |
