The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1950 3/4 ton Chevrolet hub caps, unavalable?

I've tried 4 different vendors and they all have back ordered the 3/4 ton hub caps. Anyone bought one of these recently??

i can't find them either denny. may have a guy here in arizona who has a "donor" truck that has original 3/4 ton hub caps, but i don't think anyone has them new.

let me know if you are interested in the original ones and i'll see what i can do. i just want one for my spare so if there are any others that are in good condition i'd be glad to send them on to you.

Hi Denny
There is a guy who has over 22000 hub caps & wheel covers in stock from 1908 to current ,Used. in winnipeg Manitoba Canada . I have have heard from other people that he is very easy to deal with & honest. His Phone # is 204 889-2666. hope this is of help to you

Thanks PJ, let me know via email me if that pans out.
Thanks Roge, I'll have to give him a call. I was counting on new ones because they are SS, but they have been on back order for over a month at the AD vendors sites. I have two that are chromed steel no dents but the chrome is pitted. I'm looking for a plater in the area that could redo them. I need three more straight ones in good shape.

Denny, there is a guy in Miami Ok. that has a lot of used 3/4
parts, I'll try to find his name if you are interested ! Also,
there is a good yard in So. East Colo. that has a lot of caps,
last year I pu 2 painted 3/4 caps for my '53, again I'll have
to try to run down the name ( my truck is in Colo. with all
of the info...) if needed !
If you do get lucky with the AD 3/4 caps, let us know the info
& pricing etc...who is the vendor !!!

I have been purchasing all my parts from Golden State Auto Parts 1-800-235-5717, they have hub caps, and just about everything else. I have'nt had any problems ordering and I have bought probably over 5000$ in parts from them. Jack "gas dude" with 1950 Gmc 1-ton

You also my want to try Brotherstruck.com or the Truckandcarshop.com They have a very extensive inventory,Hope this helps, Ed

I have 3 nice chrome repops plus one so so original on my 53 3/4 ton flatbed (see in gallery). A local guy gave me these when he ripped out the running gear to go street rod.

I would trade these for NICE used gray painted originals if not rusty. I posted this idea some months back, got zero response.

Goldem State Parts returns nothing for "hub cap",or "hubcap". Brothers doesn't list SS caps for 50, 3/4 ton.

denny, haven't heard anything from the local source regarding the 3/4 ton hub caps. if the other sources mentioned pan out, i'd say go for it.

if the guy comes throug in the next week or so i'll let you know.

I have the catalog for golden state auto parts and it shows several types with pictures. You can order the catalog for free.

Jimerit...the 2 that I got out of the So. Colo yard were the painted 3/4 caps, I would be willing to trade for 2 of
your crome units ! My only problem is: the truck & caps
are in Colo. & I'm here in Eagle Rock, Ca.. If you can wait until this spring (May), I'll do the deal with you & I will try to get
back out to the yard & run down another two !
Let me know !
