Anyone know what these NOS center caps came on.

[PT'S 70 CST]

I got a good education today on a set of NOS center caps that I have had for awhile. Does anyone know what these came on. I know most of you have seen them on some truck rallies and they bolt from the inside out. Now you tell me what they came on from the factory.

Not a clue here but they sure are nice .

[hugger6933]

Look like mid 70's van to me. Jim

[67 cst swb]

I think they are 80's Chevy/GMC van with the 15 x 7 Rally wheels.
But don't quote me on that.

[PT'S 70 CST]

Keep the guesses coming. I will reveal the answer soon.

1975ish C-10 step side (4x4?)

[ho70]

90's Suburban and van had indents on the center for lugs
Impala's used one's just like it but had bolt holes in them
but because they are smooth, my guess is a Chevrolet passenger car like a Monte Carlo

[hugger6933]

I don't think they were mid 80's van cause I saw a 84 and a 91 at the sale today, and just looked back at the sale pics and they had lug nut grooves in them. I remember a friend having some like that on a 77 truck maybe but I thought he got the hardware from a van. I'm sticking with the mid to late 70's van. Jim

late 70`s camaro?

[imjeff]

88 - 99 1/2 ton 2 WD suburban, van, tahoe?

[PT'S 70 CST]

ho70 oh so very close. This was a one year run for the 1974 Spirit of America Impala and some but very few Spirit of America el camino. There were supposedly only 200 ish of these Impala's made. It took my buddy half a day of digging in a mid 70's old parts Bible at the dealership that he has to find out what it was. I did some research and wahla here they are.

[fartblossom]

Awesome! But wouldn't it be 76? That was the bicentennial.

*edit: nope, it's 74 allright.

[PT'S 70 CST]

A limited-edition Spirit of America package was offered in 1974 on Sport Coupe models; primarily an appearance package, it featured white or blue body paint, a white full vinyl top, white upholstery with red or blue trim, color-keyed seat belts and floormats, special wheel covers, optional white rally wheels, sports-styled dual remote outside rear view mirrors, a vinyl body side molding insert, and red pin-striping. Special fender and dashboard badges announced the package to passers-by and passengers. Chevrolet also offered Nova and Vega Spirit of America versions as well.

boy can you imagine trying to find those special option parts to restore?

[PT'S 70 CST]

I would sure love to find a guy in need of these. They are NOS. Can you imagine what they would bring to someone trying to restore one of these cars.

[ho70]

it would be cool to paint a truck like that

[Willie Makeit]

went to high school with a guy that had one of the "Spirit" Novas. Nice ol' car.

[sambrutay]

Cool pieces for sure. I love NOS GM parts

[hugger6933]

I junked out a Spirit nova years ago bought it for $75 bucks then sold the motor for 75 the trans for 75 and the rear for 75. Then sold the body for $150. big money. Also while the 74 impala is a topic did anyone know that was the first year for an airbag? Drivers side 74 Impala. Kramer on that tv show Seinfeld drove one and it was airbag equipped. More worthless trivia leaking from my head. Jim

I have 6 of those centers that are dirty but in really good shape.

[midniteblues]

i've seen some of the 90's egg shaped caprice's have caps like them.

[PT'S 70 CST]

Yeah I some on an old 69 that I had. I am sure GM made a good size run of them and some probably got put on some trucks or vans but they were made for the Impala going off of the parts book.

Nope, the 94-96 Caprice 9C1 used the same as the truck rally (with a different decal), three bolts through the front to hold it to the wheel. Different wheel, though...

I'd like to see one in the blue body paint.
