Hub caps with Rally wheels???
Silly question... Does anyone know if there are any factory hubcaps, not full wheel covers, we can run on factory 6 lug Rally wheels. Like the baby moon look but factory hub caps have a little more style. Is anyone running baby moons on their rallys?? Thanks

Check this thread and the linked thread in the second post. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=361322 I know the Gold/White 68 has 10" wide on the back and 7" wide on the front. The wheels are for sale in the parts forum right now... LockDoc |

Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
Thanks for the info. Don't know if it matters and i should have clarified, we are running truck Rally's. Thanks

Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
Truck rallies don't have the "bump" or spring clips for the baby moons.They do have 3 holes for the original center caps.I have yet to find a way to run a BM on them but would love to.I'll be subscribing to this one to see what you come up with.
BTW There are a lot of the center caps from later models that will work but most attach with the plastic lugnuts. |
Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
Yeah pretty sure Stockton Wheel in CA can build you the rims so the hubcaps will fit. I am putting some 68 COPO dog dish hubcaps on my 68 but wanted to use wider rims and they could accomodate that. Give em a call.

Subscribed... I'm running 6 lug truck rallys with the later model caps. Curious to see what ideas others have as well.

sure there is they came on the 67-68 COPO Camaros. I am building a BBC COPO 68' Truck that was never built by GM so I am improvising.

Could go w caps from the 50's-60's that were held on with little metal clips. Order those clips and spot weld them on your rims. Works in theory, not sure in reality bc I have never done that.

Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
chevy made many COPO trucks, thousands of them. and your copo hubcaps weren't a copo item, they were just base model hubcaps.

Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
Dont think you are correct about the hub caps being standard issue. I have sets of standard issue truck hubcaps, they look nothing a like. I have never spotted a truck with these hubcaps ever! Plus every COPO Camaro I have seen have these on them. Also I am curious as to were you got info on COPO trucks and the thousands they produced. I have never heard of or saw a 1968 swb step side with a factory matching number 396 but I am 34 and was not alive then so if you can show me otherwise I am listening and ready to learn. I realize that the 396 became available in 68 but I am just saying I have never heard of one in a half ton step side. May have happened, if so get me some pics so I can get it correct.

Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
pretty sure "copo" didn't always mean high performance ... just special order

COPO= Central Office Production Order.
It just meant that the vehicle that is ordered was handled by the "central office". The COPO Camaro's were built to be campaigned. But, any vehicle that didn't fall under the standard method of ordering, including but not limited to cars, could be ordered under the COPO heading. If your company wanted a fleet of vehicles that were painted a color that was special for your business, it might be done as a COPO vehicle. But, one shouldn't assume that those hubcaps were only part of a COPO order. Chevy didn't add anything extra to the COPO Camaros, although there were some that did have some amenities. Saw a '69 COPO Rallye Sport Camaro (Hidden headlights) on Barrett-Jackson. Sure, it had the big block, etc., but it was a one-off COPO car. |
Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
exactly. COPO ment it was not the normal options avalible for that vehicle.
A copo truck could have a 230 inline 6, or be painted some weired baby poop green, or be a 1/2 ton with a 5 speed tranny from a big truck, or could be super short wheel base... what ever was not part of the normal options avalible for said model number. Like I said, your COPO caps, are base model hubcaps for the cars you see them on. And, like I said, there were thousands of COPO trucks built in the 67 - 72 model year trucks. |
Re: Hub caps with Rally wheels???
I don't want to stir up trouble, but the Wheel Vintiques Rallye wheels are set up in a dual bolt pattern configuration 5 on 5 and 5 on 4.75. They take the standard Rallye centers and a bunch of other caps. I got a set of "Police" caps for mine that look like flattened baby moons with 2 grooves around the face near the lip at a show here in Raleigh for $20!
Not to pick nits, but "RALLYE" is how Chevy spelled Rally back in the '60s. I should have mentioned that the vendor I bought my caps from also had 6 lug car type Rallyes and said that the caps would fit those, too! |
