Anyone know what these NOS center caps came on.

These caps werent unique to the spirit cars. We had a 76 chevy c10 with caps like the originals posted. They were the default cap for the first few years of truck rally wheels. There was another thread on the forum about them a while back.

I have a pair of them. I have always had my eyes open for 2 more when at swap meets.

I will post some info later that will clear all of this up. My buddy at GM has some data out of some old parts books that does show a Chevy bowtie cap for the 5x5 pattern very similar to this one but the decal is ever so slightly different. The caps I have are part #349072 and states that they are made for the 1974 Spirit of America Impala. He did more research to find that there were two other part #'s with a very similar rounded top cap that was a truck and van application. He is going to make copies from the parts book and drop them off this evening and I will post all of his info as soon as I can.


Thanks, PT

67 cst swb can you look on the inside of your caps and see if you can make out the part # at the very top of the cap.

Sure, Next time I am at my shop I can. My guess is that they are the truck/van ones. But ???
I am not sure mine even have a sticker/emblem on them anymore.
I bet I have had them laying around for at least 15 years.

I will keep my eyes open for you two to match so you can have a set if you wish.

I have seen a couple but, not really wanting to pay $20.00 each. I tried to talk a guy at the Denver Swap Meet down to $20.00 for the pair. He said no.
I only need them to make set, I have nothing to put them on at the moment.
But yea, If you find a pair at a reasonable price, like under $10.00 each. I'd be ok with that.

Ok here is some data and illustrations for these center caps. If you will look on page two at the top of the page you will see #349072 (Spirit of America). Notice in the pic that the other round caps in the first pic have the mounting holes going though the cap unlike the ones that I posted the (Spirit of America caps). The bolt from the inside to hide the mounting screws.

Showing the bolt holes from the backside.

Wow, So... I might have something kinda rare here.
I do not remember having the through bolt holes.
Dang, might need to make a run to the shop today.

Ok, So I found 1 of the 2 I have.
