I'm having trouble ordering hubcaps for my 58' Chevy with 8lug differentials,
Can anyone direct me to a site where you can order these, the LMC site is not that clear for what truck the caps are for.
I live in Namibia and returning parts can be problematic.
I have a 58chevy pickup step side longed. With 8lug rims or floating differentials at the back

I looked for them for my '59 3/4 ton (8 lugs)and I could only find a few beat up and rusty originals. I went with new aluminum wheels. I've seen a few on Ebay from time to time but none in good shape. All I can say is GOOD LUCK! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | What's the issue? The hub sticks out too far or the diameter of the clips? If it is the hub, then just have a machine shop cut a hole in reproduction caps. If it is the diameter of the clips, then I don't have an answer.
I bet your truck gets a lot of attention in Namibia! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 9 | Well at the moment both is standing, restoring one converting the other.
How would you go about machining those hubcaps.

That would work to cover up the nuts but not the best answer if restoration is your goal.
The Filling Station lists 1957-60 3/4 & 1 ton truck part number L-315. Take a breath now, $70 each/$240 set of 4.
