Interesting and Rare?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Huck · 04-28-2009, 08:40 PM

Been messing with 67-72 trucks since 81. Have had a dozen or more and have been to virtually hundreds of swap meets etc and have never seen these before. Told they are 67-78 GMC delux cab caps. Three are excellent while one has a couple of curb dings. Anyone have a clue to pricing them? Huck

mbgmike · 04-28-2009, 08:49 PM

There is a site online that sells hubcaps (Original ones) can't find it now in my favorites. They do not show those at all. I think its a good find.

sameyrasmea72 · 04-28-2009, 09:06 PM

They ran -78? or was that 67-68? I have a couple of single ones but they are not in good shape.

Longhorn Man · 04-28-2009, 09:24 PM

I would honestly think, you could put what ever price you wanted on them... they WOULD sell eventually.
Awesome find there huck

sweet70beast · 04-28-2009, 10:09 PM

I remember my Grandpa's 76 had the Chevy version on those hub caps on it when I was a kid. They are long now.

100%Chevy · 04-28-2009, 10:14 PM

Those are identical to the ones on my 68 Chevy truck---except for the GMC center.
Look at this site for wheelcovers:

http://www.hubcaps.org/

Shows your 67/68 GMC caps @$90.00 each.Same for my Chevy!

Mike.

**fine69** · 04-29-2009, 01:35 AM

Never seen any of those.

Give ya $5 for them. And i will pick them up.

hehe

Huck · 04-29-2009, 03:54 PM

Minor typo there--should be 67-68. I have seen and have Chevy versions but never seen GMCs before. Maybe Canada issue?? They look pretty good hanging up on the wall of the barn for now. hehehee

Longhorn Man · 04-29-2009, 04:15 PM

They were avalible, just not many survived. I have sitting right in front of me, a 1968 GMC brochure that shows those hub caps. The circle around the GMC letters is supposed to be a primer gray color, and the letters ar supposed to be red.

Longhorn Man · 04-29-2009, 04:28 PM

Did I mention the booklet is mint?

If my digi cam wasn't acting retarded, I'd be able to get better pics...

but with red letters

dfosh · 04-29-2009, 05:07 PM

I have a set on my 68 GMC no damage on them but paint is faded a little .

longhorn70gmc · 04-30-2009, 12:55 AM

Man,
Being a Hub Cap Freak, I would love to get one of those for my Garage wall someday. Those caps are cool!!!!!!!!!! They give that style an appealing look!

**special-K** · 04-30-2009, 08:00 AM

I really need those for my`67 GMC Custom,not Deluxe.That website only has one and they only sell mint condition.I`d be willing to go $125-ish on that set.I actually like the 69-75s better.But,just to have the real deal I`d buy them.I just bought a set of stainless and a set of painted 67/68 outer nun dog dish(very rare) for $50 each set.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-30-2009, 09:35 AM

Very cool score...

IMO, the market for these is tiny which could either help or hurt your chances of a sale. $30- $35 each seems right for good used wheel covers. Plus now Tim can sell his stainless dog dish ones to me.

**special-K** · 04-30-2009, 10:58 AM

^Jeff,I saw you posted and before I even opened the thread I felt greedy.I was prepared to see you wanted in line.Next flash was that tailgate,so I was prepared to bow out on these,as painful as that would be.

I definately have you in mind for which ever I don`t use.If Paul`s Plating can restore/chrome the steel caps I`ll go that route,sin`r the truck`s a custom (Custom).

Back to these eull wheelcovers...nice find.Rare,yet limited demand.I think I`m the only one on the planet who wants them on a trucks...SERIOUSLY!!!!

.......................................................................ho w,bout one fitty?

BradE · 04-30-2009, 10:58 AM

Yeah, those are definitely from a '67 or '68. I bought some 6 lug rally's from a guy here local that were off his dad's original owner 1968 GMC. Here's what he "threw in" with the deal. The only problem: Dad apparently didn't appreciate the pop in tabs that keep the hubcaps on, so he drilled screws into the steelies

AND even had the decency to number them so they all fit correctly. #2 must not have had any problems because its not numbered and doesn't have any screw holes. Nice find Huck, those look to be in great shape!

LOW DOUGH · 04-30-2009, 11:08 AM

neat find

Tim, I have no interest in these, I roll poverty caps only. These are for the "Tophat and Tails" Jimmy owners, hope ya get them.

Huck · 05-02-2009, 08:28 AM

Think for now i will leave them on the wall until I find my next truck---I would hate to have sold them only to find a nice straight 67-8 GMC~~. if I do decide to sell---Tim--I'll let you know. Huck

heavy71chevy · 05-02-2009, 11:39 AM

man thosw3 are in good shape nice score

**special-K** · 05-02-2009, 09:01 PM

I`m the same way,Huck.It doesn`t bother me to have parts around waiting for a truck

.Matter of fact,this`67 GMC I`m building started around a clean Palamino Tan clip from Nebraska I nabbed at a swap meet with a friend in mind.His grille was hacked into a tube grille.By the time I ran into him he had traded it to his son.I wanted it anyway.

**LockDoc** · 05-03-2009, 09:57 AM

-
I have a chance to buy these for a decent price from a local guy. He says they are '72 GMC's and are in good shape. Are they in fact 72's? Sorry about the crappy pics but I think the second one is good enough to see what they are.
