I measured and it looks like I need an 11 inch hubcap. I want a round style, preferably a baby moon. Any ideas where I can find some that I can order on-line? thanks, randy | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | you might try this one link you might also try the search selector at the top of the page.. just enter hubcabs or what ever and go to the section that you may need,, general truck, engine, etc......... what yr is your truck?

I looked into this a bit as I have the same type rim, and there's plenty online. The trouble is the depth. They're primarily made with the 1/2 ton in mind. So, to fit over the rear hub, I had to inquire first about the depth. Either nobody ever bothered to email me back (Paulsen was one of these places), or said, "I don't know. They're in our warehouse." One place gave me actual dimensions. Not deep enough.
I found plenty of new and old baby moons on ebay. Here, it was easy to ask about the depth and sometimes it was even listed in description.
After all my searching, I decided to just have bare rims with chrome lugs.
As far as mounting, I was planning on using hubcap clips which are available from the truck parts places. Weld 'em, screw 'em, or rivet 'em.

Thanks for your ideas... randy | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 | I'm not sure if these'll work, but have a peek . You probably want to look at TR-144. They are for the 46-53.1 models, but you may be able to get the clippies (they're on the same page) and make them work with your wheels. Good Luck! | | |
