my dad has '53 chevy truck, with the chevy/gm 16 inch wheels, which were an option back then... my question is, will the 1/2 ton hubcaps for sale on all the vendors sites fit on this wheel?
I'm guessing that they will, since the center part around the lug nut holes with the clips and all that is more than likely the same and so forth... but I thought I would check with the AD('47-'55 1st series) guys in here, anyway.
thanks folks.

I've been placing notices in other sections of the Stovebolt Page but no luck so far. I have a set of 55-56 Ser. 10 for trade if you are interested. I believe they are originals and not out of catalog. They too fit the 16"rims which are the ones I have on my 51
Thanks | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 48 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 48 | Wooger - Any luck yet on finding your hub caps? As I've mentioned, I'm looking too for my 51 and have some other sources beating the bushes (that's small "b" not big "B" you guys). I'll keep you in mind if I find any. The originals are scarce but, as 50GM pointed out some of the repros are pretty good. I've seen a pair of the Classic Auto Parts replacements and they are real good knockoffs. In their mag they even advertise them as being "Just like original, not the 'cheap-o' skin or shell" type. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 | I was just checking, cuz my dad mentioned something about hub caps, so I wanted to make sure the same caps would fit the 15 or 16 inch wheel. Pop is kinda startin' a collection of parts... maybe one day he'll do something with them. hehehe.

Won't be that cold down this way. Check with Obsolete Chevrolet in Nashville and they will bring a set with them for you to scope with no commitment to buy.
