Interesting and Rare??
 

Been messing with 67-72 trucks since 81. Have had a dozen or more and have been to virtually hundreds of swap meets etc and have never seen these before. Told they are 67-78 GMC delux cab caps. Three are excellent while one has a couple of curb dings. Anyone have a clue to pricing them? Huck

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

There is a site online that sells hubcaps (Original ones) can't find it now in my favorites. They do not show those at all. I think its a good find.

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

They ran -78? or was that 67-68? I have a couple of single ones but they are not in good shape.

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

I would honestly think, you could put what ever price you wanted on them... they WOULD sell eventually.
Awesome find there huck

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

I remember my Grandpa's 76 had the Chevy version on those hub caps on it when I was a kid. They are long now.

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Those are identical to the ones on my 68 Chevy truck---except for the GMC center.
Look at this site for wheelcovers:

Shows your 67/68 GMC caps @$90.00 each.Same for my Chevy!

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Never seen any of those.

Give ya $5 for them. And i will pick them up.

hehe

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Minor typo there--should be 67-68. I have seen and have Chevy versions but never seen GMCs before. Maybe Canada issue?? They look pretty good hanging up on the wall of the barn for now. hehehee

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

They were avalible, just not many survived. I have sitting right in front of me, a 1968 GMC brochure that shows those hub caps. The circle around the GMC letters is supposed to be a primer gray color, and the letters ar supposed to be red.

Did I mention the booklet is mint?

but with red letters

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

I have a set on my 68 GMC no damage on them but paint is faded a little .

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Man,
Being a Hub Cap Freak, I would love to get one of those for my Garage wall someday. Those caps are cool!!!!!!!!!! They give that style an appealing look!

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

I really need those for my`67 GMC Custom,not Deluxe.That website only has one and they only sell mint condition.I`d be willing to go $125-ish on that set.I actually like the 69-75s better.But,just to have the real deal I`d buy them.I just bought a set of stainless and a set of painted 67/68 outer nun dog dish(very rare) for $50 each set.

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Very cool score...

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

IMO, the market for these is tiny which could either help or hurt your chances of a sale. $30- $35 each seems right for good used wheel covers. Plus now Tim can sell his stainless dog dish ones to me.;)

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

^Jeff,I saw you posted and before I even opened the thread I felt greedy.I was prepared to see you wanted in line.Next flash was that tailgate,so I was prepared to bow out on these,as painful as that would be.:lol:
I definately have you in mind for which ever I don`t use.If Paul`s Plating can restore/chrome the steel caps I`ll go that route,sin`r the truck`s a custom (Custom).

Back to these eull wheelcovers...nice find.Rare,yet limited demand.I think I`m the only one on the planet who wants them on a trucks...SERIOUSLY!!!!:lol:.......................................................................ho w,bout one fitty?:D

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Yeah, those are definitely from a '67 or '68. I bought some 6 lug rally's from a guy here local that were off his dad's original owner 1968 GMC. Here's what he "threw in" with the deal. The only problem: Dad apparently didn't appreciate the pop in tabs that keep the hubcaps on, so he drilled screws into the steelies:whine: AND even had the decency to number them so they all fit correctly. #2 must not have had any problems because its not numbered and doesn't have any screw holes. Nice find Huck, those look to be in great shape!

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

neat find

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Tim, I have no interest in these, I roll poverty caps only. These are for the "Tophat and Tails" Jimmy owners, hope ya get them.

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

Think for now i will leave them on the wall until I find my next truck---I would hate to have sold them only to find a nice straight 67-8 GMC~~. if I do decide to sell---Tim--I'll let you know. Huck

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

man thosw3 are in good shape nice score

Re: Interesting and Rare??
 

I`m the same way,Huck.It doesn`t bother me to have parts around waiting for a truck:cool:.Matter of fact,this`67 GMC I`m building started around a clean Palamino Tan clip from Nebraska I nabbed at a swap meet with a friend in mind.His grille was hacked into a tube grille.By the time I ran into him he had traded it to his son.I wanted it anyway.

Re: Interesting and Rare??

I have a chance to buy these for a decent price from a local guy. He says they are '72 GMC's and are in good shape. Are they in fact 72's? Sorry about the crappy pics but I think the second one is good enough to see what they are.
