Close up pics of 3/4 ton 4wd hubcaps

[chewiebarker]

I am converting 2wd front caps to fit over 4wd hubs on my 3/4 ton 1971 Suburban. I can't find a pic of what oem caps look like - on wheel. I am trying to judge the spacing between the hub and cap as well as the amount of hub that should protrude. Below is a pic of my test fit, before painting the black spoke on the cap. It looks very tight to me, but if it is supposed to be then great. Thanks.

I'm on my ipad, cannot upload my pic, but you can see mine here:

Thanks

I am essentially following the process that PICKMUP posted here - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=293221

I am painting my caps though because the chrome is so badly pitted it is not worth keeping.

I bought my caps from PICKMUP, he cut the centers out for the fronts. All I needed to do was paint. Could not be happier with the quality from PICKMUP, and I was pleased with the results once I painted them (see link in previous post, same thread, for finished front and rear caps if you're interested).
