I do know I've never seen any.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | There were caps for the standard wheel but not the dually wheel. Saying this I don't know if they were an option or not. I have no idea about aftermarket caps but would assume somebody did make them. My parts truck came with two 18" Chevrolet 1 Ton hubcaps.

Bruce | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 141 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 141 | So, is the answer, mo, hub caps were not made, neither factory, nor aftermarket for the dual 18 inch wheeled one toms? I already knew that they were available for the single wheeled one tons, The Filling Station has repros.
Thanks,

Brian I like this option, I've seen them first hand and they look very nice, and I remember thinking reasonably priced, but don't remember the price now.. Grigg | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 | i have a factory ad sheet that came with my 40 with all the new improvements added to the 250 series for 40. all the picures show hub caps front and rear for single and dual wheels. the front cap is held to the hub by a screw in the middle of the front cap. the caps for the rear appear to bolt to the hub itself or it screwed in the hole for pulling the axle out. i saw a pic of a 250 with front caps but the angle of the shot didnt show the rear. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 38 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 38 | Chevs of the 40s has the Hub Caps for the 17" wheels. I think there $250.00 for a set of 4.
If it's broke hit it harder!
