    I'm looking for 4 Original (painted) hubcaps for my '65 C10 Pickup.
    I want the painted version, and not the crome plated.

    Does any one have such once for sale, or know where I can find them?

    I live in Denmark, so visiting a lot of junkyards are unfortunate not a possibility (Danish junkyards don't have classic US parts)

    It is hubcaps like this one I'm looking for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-64-...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    The caps needs to be the version which are approx. 10" in diameter...

    I hope some of you are able to help me in my search!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hub Caps

    Posting up a picture of the hub cap u want , is critical to getting the right item....

    Many folks prolly have or have seen just what you want but don't know what it is you're looking for .

    I've finally managed to get a full set of steel base model hub caps for my '67 , two have dents , I don't really care that much .

    Good luck hunting ! .

    The hubcaps I'm looking for are like the once shown in the attached picture (though all four should be the exactly the same model)

    Hubcaps

    O.K. ;

    Now you're making progress .

    Wait a while as folks are always coming and going , you'll prolly get a response in a while .

    Also , look on E-bay , use the wheel size to help your search or " chevy truck hubcaps " etc. , think of various ways others might list them ~ .

    Good luck hunting ! .

    I'm NATE

    I don't know what your hubcaps look like , posting a photo , even of a dented one will help generate replies as will posting your state .

    It took me some time to find a set of original hub caps for my '67 and they were used for nearly ten years on millions of trucks , I bought a few dented ones to make do in the intrim .

    I also lost one *perfect* one on the freeway and even heard it go but as a beat up old Chevcy G Van was passing me as it flew off , I thought the Va was making the racket.... :(

    I went back the next day but couldn't find it dammit .

    I don't actually sell parts but I do know that Joe AKA MOTHERTRUCKER in the classified section , always has whatever obscure parts I need in RUST FREE Arizona , shoot him an E-mail .

    Expect to have to de rust and re paint any hub caps , cherry ones are very $pendy .

    mp8200, I think I may have one or possibly two of those hub caps that I'm not using :D. I'll check the next time I'm in my shed.

    mp8200,

    I went out to my shed and found 3 matching hub caps like you showed in a previous post. Two are in good condition and the third is in fair condition. Contact me a tcolaric@q.com if you are interested in them and I'll send some pics.

    I have 4 originals

    they are white and been re-painted a few times. all 4 are 1966 originals so they have small dents, etc.
    If you are interested, let me know and I can take some pix too. I dont know how much it cost to ship from ATL, GA to Denmark tho!?

    Hi

    Thanks for your feedback!
    I did find some caps, and they look great on my truck - so I'm looking for it more - thanks!
