What do the correct ones look like? These seem smaller, even though they are 12in. These are later design, not correct for 67, but I like the look. |

Re: 12in hub cap modification
Back in the early seventies I changed wheels and the caps came with them. If you look inside the caps that you want to put over the hubs you will see a thin groove. I used an exacto blade to carefully cut out the groove. Have no idea why the groove was there. Mongo

Re: 12in hub cap modification
Interesting. I am the original owner and probably still have the sales receipt. What little is left of my mind that I can remember is late 70's to late 71.The original wheels (5) are still in my shop. The vehicle is a 1970 C/K 20. Love a good mystery. Mongo
