Hubcap question

[Tork?]

Did these come in polished from the dealer? I believe they're 67-68 only and I've seen all black but not polished. I like them they're pretty much like the 72 P01 but a a little different.

No, black centers. Photo courtesy one of our members, sorry didn't jot down who, but good ref pic for 67-68 C10.

Not to steal your thread but I had a similar question about hubcaps, and that was of anyone has ever used gto hubcaps on one of our model trucks and how did it look if they did

[Chevyland]

Tork?
I’d run those all day long
I love the look

[Chevyland]

Here’s a similar look
Faded and repainted
Although on c20

If they've been polished someone did a really nice job. I'm getting a redline tire kit should set it off.

These are also PO1s. They were all polished with flat black paint in the center. You could bolt the center section off a 69-72 and have the same wheel cover. They are the same stamping with the embossed bowtie eliminated. If you look behind some 69-72 2wd PO1s you will see they are actually 4wd fronts with the center section added.

Yes, I have run the '65 GTO hubcaps on deep dish wheels on a 67-72 truck before. I have a set waiting for my '67 GMC project now. Pontiac used that same hubcap through '72

I will have to get a picture of the hub caps I bought. I could only find three of them, which makes me think that someone snagged one off the tempest I got them from, but its only $40 for a new one online to match it. they're only a 14" hubcap though so I would have to find a way to make them work.

You must be talking about wheel covers, not hubcaps. The hubcaps fit no matter what the rim diameter is. These are the hubcaps I thought you were talking about

[Stephen717]

Yeah. I'd always just heard em called hubcaps no matter what size they are. Here's what I was talking about though

[Tork?]

I like getting new hubcaps. An affordable way to change a look. A lot of cool wheel covers from 60s gm cars that are 14" like those

Here's the back of my 72 P01 caps for comparison

The thing with using the same name for both is there is no way of knowing which thing you are talking about, as was just shown in our conversation. Names are for the sake of identification. Wheelcovers cover wheels and hub caps cap hubs. The name actually describes what they do for perfect communication. But if you prefer speaking in terms others won't understand, that's your right. There's what's always been done wrong and there's changing to doing it right
