Need pics of 71 hubcaps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nu2-72 · 05-14-2005, 09:02 PM

I need to see all the possibilities of hubcaps for 1971 and what they were for. Custom to Super, 1/2 to ?? and 2wd and 4wd. Found some old caps but do not know what I am looking at.

Here's some that I know about.

nu2-72 · 05-14-2005, 10:32 PM

Sillyoldman, thanks but none of those.
I met an old man that tells me he bought a truck in 1972. It was a 1971 leftover. He paid $2300.00 and recieved a $200.00 rebate from GM as a leftover.
He has a set that he tells me came on a 1971 Custom Deluxe original and he took them off the day he bought it. They are small as in the first two pics. Not full wheel covers. They are chrome and sortof dome like. They have a black ring about mid way and a small black bowtie in the center top.
He also says he has the original radio but the one he showed me has the musical note on the left knob and the speaker w/waves on the right.

Are they like these?

I think he's fibbing you on the radio. That is the styling of latter GM products. '77 or so.

Don't want to hijack your thread so here is a link to a set off of a 68 bone stock C10. I am not sure of the measurement, but they only cover the centers of the 15" wheel. Evidently they had similar in chrome, too.

Not the right year, and the bowtie is the wrong color, but I thought it might help ya narow it down to what you actually have.

Maybe 72CustomCamper's are what you are looking for.

My mom's '70 Nova had those hubcaps. Stripper Camaro's had them too.

farside847 · 05-15-2005, 12:47 PM

Mine were like this but white, not chrome.

nu2-72 · 05-15-2005, 03:42 PM

72 CustomCamper, exactly like those. Anyone know what a set of these are worth?

72 CustomCamper · 05-16-2005, 12:07 AM

There's 4 sets on Ebay right now. Going from $10-$200. All I did was type in copo hubcaps...

My parents had a 72 Kingswood Stationwagon (Chevy product for those who are not into restoring old grocery getters

) I think that radio had those knobs, but I was 18 when we gave it away, thats been a while ago
