Temporarily, you can use the bottom half of a Coke can for a dust cap- - - -it's just exactly the right size to be a snug fit over the hub snout. It also screams "RAT ROD" from about 50 feet away! A (Budweiser can is even better!)

SavannahDog ,

These grease caps are quite a rare part to find these days.

I see ( 1 ) GM # 3768604 on ebay , the seller wants $35.00 for one cap .

Once I measured them correctly. I find them a lot easier to locate.

Gracious Won't this thread just die. Measured the hole correctly 2.403 is what I measured. After looking for something slightly bigger than that. I found several venders. It was easier than I was making it. Searching with a digital measurement was what made it simple.
