Help Identifying a Dog Dish Cap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Todd68Chevy** · 08-07-2011, 02:27 PM

I bought these a while back and was told they were Chevy truck. I had them measure them at the time and I was off on what I needed and they will not fit the truck wheels I have becase they are to small. They measure approx. 9 1/2" outer diameter. The outside could be paint but looks to me to be porcelin. Does anybody have any idea what these are off of??? Are they Chevy truck or Chevy car??? Thanks for any help.

If this is not in the correct area please move it to the correct one. Thanks

Thanks a lot but now I do not know if I should be happy that I found out what they are from or pissed off because I bought a set of hub caps that are for a Luv. LOL I guess with all the Chevys and parts that I have owned this is the first Luv part that I know I have had. After reading this I did a quick search on Luv hub caps and it looks like it is 1972-73.

Thanks again

LUV (light utility vehicle) wheels are 14-inch, 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. You can run those caps on those wheels.

The caps pictured are 1" diameter smaller than what my truck takes. My caps measure 10 1/2" diameter. I am running my original 6 lug caps on 5 lug wheels and they fit fine but these are to small.

I am really happy to know what they fit. I like how they look but just wish they fit my wheels. You think in a few years there might be someone restoring a LUV. I actually know a guy that still drives a yellow LUV.

Hey they are in nice condition and not many around. Never know who will need a set

**too much stuff** · 08-07-2011, 10:23 PM

Awww, do you think i would screw with you??? No really, tell me because i don't know! I just type what the voices tell me to..........

I have seen a few on e-bay, but haven't noticed what they go for.

**Todd68Chevy** · 08-07-2011, 10:34 PM

Mike I am not worried about it. If nothing else they will make good garage art and conversation piece.

Eric, I should have known better but the guys around here you got to watch. Better watch those voices, I would hate for them to get in the way of all your knowledge.

Thanks again to both of you!!!

**special-K** · 08-09-2011, 08:28 AM

I am sure there are and will be Chevy LUVs restored. I wouldn't mind having one.

Longhorn Man · 08-09-2011, 09:39 AM

i kn ew a guy about 15 years ago had a freshly restored one. He loved those things.

bw4sale · 08-09-2011, 12:54 PM

I just saw someone on here the other day who was looking for a set. It may have been in the 60-66 section but I can't remember. Anyway, there is some market for them if you decide to get rid of them.
