    Does anyone know of a source for an adapter (if there's one even out there) to fit '50 Chevy hubcaps on to a later model ('79-'87) 15 inch Chevy truck wheel? I got a couple of dozen of the wheel clips from our sponsor with the intention of riveting them to my wheels. The way the later wheels are shaped, though, makes it necessary to bend the clips straight on one end. Then comes the problem of getting 6 of them the right height to snap the hubcap on. Way more involved than I want to get. Lookin' for the easy way out, but if there's no other way, I guess it's back to the drawing board. Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!

    Good Man!

    I knew I could count on you, Ken! The local Christmas parade is Thursday, and I've been scrambling to get my truck ready for my granddaughter to ride in it. It'll be down to the wire, for sure. May have to let the hubcap job go for now. Thanks for the lead!
