Hi All,

This is another idea I am playing with inspired by another thread....

The subject of "hubcaps" comes up on occasion as to what is correct for which models. I can set up a web page if you folks can supply photos and descriptions from hub caps 1960 and before. Photos of just the hub cap off the vehicle, front and back sides and maybe a profile view would be better for purposes of detail. Descriptions can include years and models each hubcap was used with dimensions. Think this would make a good reference.

Let me know what you all think and if you can, shoot me an email with a photo of your hub cap with a description.

Cheers!

I love the idea, Keith! I wish I had something more than repops to offer you, so instead I'll watch as a spectator.

Thanks in advance for your efforts. You've given us lots.

Bill

In addition to this, what about the rims that the hub caps match up to?

I say this because I am wondering what kind of hubcaps will fit on rims from a 1960's 6 bolt GMC rim.

khardy, Your front and rear bumper guards was
made by a small company I worked for called Comac
Engineering...to include the elephant ears on the
ends of the bumpers...Two jig setters (Me & Cousin) would put the pieces in the fixture, lock
them down, then push the fixture into the weld booth to be arc welded...Then loaded on a truck
to be taken to a chrome shop....Bill B


1952 Chevy 3104 Shortbed 5-window
Remember; Politicians and diapers both need to be changed
often, and for the same reason.....

Hey Ezekiel, that is a very good idea. I'll see what I can do to incorporate that info.

Bill, that is very interesting about the bumper guards and wrap-arounds. Do you by chance have any old literature from your old employer Comac Engineering?

Cheers!

Hey Guys!

While you are out tooling around with your truck this weekend, take a few pics of your wheel covers for the Chevy Hub Cap Identification page.

Cheers!
