The only ones I have ever seen were on a Chevrolet show vehicle which transported the autorama displays around.

I remember Reo's, Whites and Diamond T's with chrome hubcaps on spoke wheels when I was a kid so It can be done on those too. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | I think that your maybe looking for "wheel simulators". They are polished stainless steel covers that go over steel wheels to give the look of polished or plated wheels. Look at www.rvwheel.com. Take a look. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 | NO just hub caps thanks.53moneypit,your just up the road from me.

One front, & one rear. Only saw GMC versions though. The fronts secured to the lug nuts, & the rear were secured by a recessed screw to the center of the axle flange. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 165 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 165 | Nothing specific for GMC, but white had hub caps for the Yellowstone park tour busses, that clipped to a clip plate that was held on by the 6 front wheel nuts and covered just the wheel nuts, also the rear had the same setup to hold them on but looked like a top hat that covered the axle end. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 | If I find something that works I'll let you guys know. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 | im looking for a set of them for my 40 one ton. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 66 | I've also been looking to do the same on my '54 1-1/2 ton. What i'm going to do is use '54 1/2 ton caps and get some custom-made adapters to allow them mount on the wheel clamps(?) that mount between the lug nuts and the wheels. You'll probably beat me to this though since I have more important priorities with my truck (like my engine cooling system). Hope this helps. | | |
