Location !

Is the single most important detail you left out .

I see the 8 lug steel wheels constantly in So. Cal. Pick-A-Part Yards .
 
that is a big one

I am in oklahoma but the real question are they all the same width or am I looking for a certian width
 
8 Lug Steel Wheels

It depends on what diameter you want ~ 15" , 16" or larger .

There's a list of what was available when new , maybe at : The Old Car Manual Project .com ?.

Or an owner's booklet , in the back part .

I wish I could be of more help , sorry .
 
Apache hub caps

I am also looking for hub caps for a C-20 Chevy truck 1961....I am in California can you give me a quoted price ? Thanks...
 
I assume everyone would want the tubeless type.
61-63 hubcaps are the same design. 3/4 & 1 ton require 8 5/8 inner diameter hubcap that is also thicker than the 1/2 ton versions. see comparison picture below.

SWAP MEETS ~ I was at the A.T.H.S. Show Sunday last and saw two of these ~ .

I also bought the *one* he had for my '69 C/10 , only $5 , dent free although it was filthy and had light surface rust .
 
Do you have the hub caps ?

It looks like those are the hub caps I'm looking for...how many do you have and how much do you want for them ? Can you post some better pictures ?
Thanks,

Good info Woog !

I was about going crazy with all the excuses and lies my painted kept giving me about my 7 original '67 ~ '72 hub caps , it turns out he simply hadn't bothered to even look for the damn things ~ I went by Friday after work to see if it'll be ready for pickup on Monday , my Son said ' I know it's a pisser pop but he's done the paint & rust repair work you like so let it go ' ~

I was flabber gasted to walk into his office and see him carefully hand cutting the painter's tape on one of them to make the black mask.....

Sheesh .

of course now I'm getting the same Okey-Doke about the factory assembly manual he never looked at and now claims I never gave him :o .
