Re: Hubcaps

I agree that factory 4wd probably didn't come from the factory with hubcaps. But the 61/62 4wd caps are correct for the 63, so they were produced for 4wd trucks. The couple of sets of 61-63 4wd hubcaps that I have seen were not standard caps with holes cut in them. The 61-63 caps have a raised bowtie in the center and would leave parts of the bowtie on the cap if a hole was cut out of the center or you would have a huge gap around the hub. I have seen several sets and they all look the same with a raised rim where the front hub sticks out through the cap. They may not have been made in 63, but the 61/62 4wd caps are period correct caps for the 63.
