"Wheelsmith chrome rims, Mob Steel Dog Dish caps with bare center of rims and Bow Tie on caps painted same colors as truck."

I like it

A little late to answer your question

My dad said he used a pry bar like this when he had hub caps on his GMC Sprint in the 80s.

Are these the stock steel wheels? Running drum brakes still? Spacers?

I kinda like them too.
I found them out in my father-in-law's barn. They don't look to have ever been ran. They are late 60's Ford.

I am looking for center caps for my 66 C10. I am running truck wheels with those eBay clips. I wanted to run the disc brake center caps, but the disc brake hub sticks out too far to run them. What are my options with this set-up?

Also, my clearance may be more than 2" since I measured from the center of the clip (see tape measure end).

Thank you.

Kept the stock look but used old Blazer 15x7 steelies.

rsavage · 05-18-2020, 05:23 AM

Looks great!

A guy who is about 50 miles from me runs a business called "Scotty's hubcaps". He is no relation to me - I've just bought hubcaps from him in the past. He's go these up on Buffalo Craigslist for 64-66 Chevy Trucks if anyone is interested.

Does anyone have a picture of the back side of a Sombrero center cap?

I have a 66 C10 with Disc brakes. The front hub sticks out too far to use the smaller Disc Brake center caps. So I bought the 1952 larger caps. They are deeper, but also bigger diameter. They hit the face of the wheel before they clip in. I bought these clips to use the Sombrero caps, but hoping to use the larger caps I just got today. I'm wondering if I can just put washers behind the clips? Keep adding washers until the clips snap in place?

Thank you.
