"dog dish" hub caps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fire235 · 04-27-2005, 05:33 PM

Are all "dog dish" style hub caps the same size as far as what wheels they will fit on, or do hub caps from different model years require a certain rim to fit? I would love to go with some stock wheels (may have found some) with dog dish hub caps, but I'm not sure which dog dish caps I would be able to buy to use with them so I am curious its a universal type fit as long as I stay with truck hubs and truck wheels. Thanks.

What year? The stock 67/8 'dog dish' caps have a 10.125" (give or take the .125 as my caps aren't 100% straight) & snap on the outside of 'tits' located around the wheel.

The later model Caprice dog dish caps are a direct swap & look alot like the earlier model 67-8 caps. I have a couple of sets I could compare if you need pics. These caps can still be picked up @ your local GM dealer (but there not cheap). A cheaper alternative would be any used hubcap joint.

3/4 ton hub caps can't be used on 1/2 ton trucks...and visa versa.

I ran the 68-69 Camaro/Nova dog dish caps on my 67 Stepside with no problem

Also 67 and 68 base "poverty" hub caps are similar size shape but painted different colors.
