Goal is a very original truck - for ice cream and social runs. Thanks! GiG

Will the stock 3/4 and 1 ton hub caps not fit? Do you need to install clips so they will fit? •1951 GMC 250 in the Project Journals •1948 Chevrolet 6400 - Detroit Diesel 4-53T - Roadranger 10 speed overdrive - 4 wheel disc brakes •1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup ---All pictures--- "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." -Henry Maudslay-

I've seen 19.5" wheels with original AD hub caps on them, and I have some of those wheels with clips already. perhaps you have an odd/uncommon design 19.5" wheel? •1951 GMC 250 in the Project Journals •1948 Chevrolet 6400 - Detroit Diesel 4-53T - Roadranger 10 speed overdrive - 4 wheel disc brakes •1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup ---All pictures--- "First, get a clear notion of what you desire to accomplish, and then in all probability you will succeed in doing it..." -Henry Maudslay-
