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!

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

I have started a web page for Chevy Hub Cap Identification Now what I need are a bunch of photos with descriptions.

I say this because I am wondering what kind of hubcaps will fit on rims from a 1960's 6 bolt GMC rim. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 339 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 339 | 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 | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 159 | 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?

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!
