65 c10 hubcaps painted or chrome?
What is correct for a 65 C10 with white painted bumpers? White or chrome dog dish hubcaps?
Thanks Stan |

Painted... but... hubcaps were often a dealer add on, and chrome would be available at any GM counter.

So far, no repops on the painted caps.
If a truck was ordered with the "Custom Chrome" option, it would have had a chrome front bumper and chrome caps. If not, then it got the standard painted versions. |

the white caps are steel the chrome ones are brass . the white ones are easier to restore with the steel material

Re: 65 c10 hubcaps painted or chrome?
I brought painted caps to the chrome shop for him to strip. He said he likes to strip the paint off himself so he knows what chemicals and process was used. He then chromed them. I'll be running them on my matching trailers.

Re: 65 c10 hubcaps painted or chrome?
They're a little brighter than the NOS ones on the truck. You only really notice when their next to each other.
Sorry no pics, I'm away in West Yellowstone delivering a trailer.

I just bought these 4 early take off or NOS caps and they are going to the platers next week. I just couldn't bring myself to use the repops with the skinny chevy emblem.
