I was going through some of the stuff that came with my truck and found out that I have a pair of Chevy hubcaps, but... I don't know what they came off of!! So I, all too gladly, got my digital camera out and took a picture of one of the hubcaps, and thought I would ask here and see if any of you guys might know what it came off of... http://picasaweb.google.com/robbiegeorge.wright/Other/photo#5184834459304229634The one pictured has some dents in it, but it otherwise in very good condition. The other one is almost perfect, aside from some rust stains on the back. And... seeing as I don't really need them, if anyone is interested in them, just make me an offer!! :-) ~Rob | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 381 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 381 | The hubcap looks like it's from a '54 Chevy car. The plain jane model - I think it's the 150 model? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | wbrowne has it right, but they'd prolly fit any 15" truck wheel with the clips Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | Tim, not a wheel cover, but a center cap [called poverty caps back then on the cheaper models], identical to what I linked above .... good ref siteBill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 | Thanks, Bill. You're right about the good link. It looks like the CT54 HC Chevy. A hub cap (center cap), not a wheel cover.

I found out that these hubcaps actually came on a 1960 Apache 10 that was bought by my uncle in the early '90's.

However, that wide trim ring with the hub cap does look real nice. Maybe someone knows of a source for reproduction/modern after-market wide trim rings? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 | The hub cap looks original but the wide trim rings are not standard equpment and I have not seen them listed as a GM accessory.

It fits so perfect im wondering whats its off of maybe an olds, or buick, or something else made by gm that had a 16" wheel? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 | | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | they're not standard original nor options, so all you'll find here will be guesses and yours is as good as ours - check with this guyBill | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 256 | Ok i found out today what these are there was a guy at the swap meet who had a NOS set they are for 49-50 15" car he called them hub cap rings he wanted $350 for them too | | |
