How do I go about measuring the size I need. I have the OEM 6 lug wheels but I'm unsure what/where I need to measure to make sure the hubs will fit before I order?

You have 3 nubs on your wheels so you'll neeed the more "modern" type-not for wheels with clips. I don't think that anyone reproduces the '60 hubcaps with the black centers, but the 59's w/ red centers are available and you're most certainly clever enough to take care of that!  http://www.gmphotostore.com/source/...&imageId=2619649&action=&ss= | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | Dude, they're less expensive from the link I provided and you can see a nice photo of what you're actually getting. Tell you what. Send me the price you'll pay for yours and I'll send you 4 caps!

Jake | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 129 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 129 | When I was looking into hub caps for my truck I ended up purchasing a few different used ones off of eBay. I wanted to put early 50's GMC hub caps on my 59 GMC.
They FIT!
As a bonus I now have some cool old GMC hubcaps on my shop wall.
Are you saying that your 60 GMC should have the same hubcaps as a 59 GMC to be correct? Or are the 60 hub caps rare and you are planning to settle for 59 hub caps?
Quite often there are a set of 59 reproduction GMC hub caps on eBay. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 129 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 129 | I took a quick look around eBay and did find any current auctions, BUT looking at completed auctions...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...1&item=4523176562&category=34209 I often surf eBay GMC parts and these keep showing up. Buy it now price of $135 and usually an opening bid around $95. Just to let you know I have no relationship with this seller, just passing along information from one truck guy to another. The seller does have a 100% feedback rating though. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 | No, The correct HC for my 1960 truck should be the 1959 caps. GMC overlooked designing a new cap for the new truck until 1961. That cap is very rare also.
Jake | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | 59 is a one year only cap. 60 is a one year only cap. They are the same cap with the exception of 59 being red around the letters, and 60 is black around the letters. You will see examples of both caps earlier in this thread. :confused: | | |
