Something looks funny about the edges on those caps...
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Iirc, the 6 lug wheel has a smaller center than the 8 lug. The older caps fit in the center with clips, the stock caps on yours fit over the center on some lugs stamped in the wheel.
I could get you a measurement on the 8 lug wheel this evening, if you need it. I've got some stock 6 lug wheels, too, but they're out back and it's been raining since yesterday morning.

I just liked the bow tie in the center on the dish type cap... stumblin' through the swap meet I came upon them... got me to pondering.
Thanks folks.

Worked great, looks great. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,897 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,897 | Hey Fred T,
thanks, I'll measure my wheel later.

The edges look funny on the cap because they are for a 3/4 ton and are larger and deeper than 1/2 ton caps. They are also very hard to find, I had been looking for over a year for a set. I don't think they'd fit a '65 as you definitely need clips to hold them on. Kevin | | |
