Re: 3/4 ton hubcaps
Ah yes,the many uses of the dog dish hubcap. Those caps are plentiful and cheap...for now. I have a N.O.S. set of 1/2t caps I bought for my '90 Blazer back when it was new and never used. I started selling some parts a few years ago and got no interest at a swap meet at $85. Now I see used sets go for that. I'm hanging on to these. I don't know what I was thinking.
Just so you know,the K/30 caps don't fit over the 69-75 hubs (earlier,too,I guess). I've cut-out K/20 caps before on these years.
I may be guilty of hubcap waste (to a 76-91 guy). I've thought about it for years,but stayed with the factory stock look on my '92 K3500. This fall I got new tires and went for it. I had Ford 7" wheels I blasted and painted rallye wheel color and put a set of N.O.S. caps on. It's a 21 (almost 22) year old 300k mile daily work truck that driver quality would have been fine on,but what the heck,these were all I had
