The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Hubcaps for AD

Who sells the best hubcaps or are they all the same, usually foreign made. I would consider used if I could find them for a 53 1/2 ton.

Myself, I have decided to go with Jim Carter. You can keep a lookout for an original set on ebay but they tend to be kind of beat up IMHO (remember they were trucks).

Mine were from Jim Carter, and for reproductions they were decent.

Well, That is two for JC. Have you ever ordered from Chevs of the 40's. They have caps that fit 41-46 1/2 tons that I like, just personal taste. They are feathered on the catalog cover. JC does not have this style. Steve

I've never purchased anything from Chev's of the 40's.

The caps you're talking about have to be the most readily reproduced caps I've seen for Chevy's. JC has them too: All Jim Carter's 34-36 Caps, click here

And they're easy to find made to fit custom wheels or stock wheels. Even Wheel Vintiques sells them to fit their wheels.

The caps I have are the 36-46 GMC caps from JC, but I had to get The Wheelsmith to modify them to fit my custom wheels. They're great quality caps.

Got mine at Golden State.

Mine are repops and I don't recall the source. There is a sticker inside saying something like GM authorized. Had them on for near on 15 years and they are fine. My memory keeps on going to JC or Chevs of the 40s.

I've purchased quite a bit from Chevrolet's of the 40's. Everything I've purchased has been good to excellent quality. I would say their hubcaps are probably good quality and equivalent to Jim Carter's.

I'd say they're all sourced from the same wholesaler.
Just look for the best price along with the best delivery.

Thanks everyone for the information. I personally like the older style and was told they would fit a stock 53 1/2 ton wheel with tabs by a employee from chevs of the 40's. Would anyone know for sure? JC has a better price.

If the wheels have the clips in those years they fit the same, yes. Your 53 will fit the 36-46 style as well.

Thanks for the info. I like the style you have for your truck. That is what I would have...if I had a GMC. Steve

I got mine new from an ebay vendor for a good price plus free shipping. They're definitely not as thick as my originals but they look fantastic and they're stainless.
