My '76 came with three hubcaps. I'm looking for the fourth hubcap to complete my stock wheel look. I figured that since many of you have upgraded to aftermarket wheels for your builds, you probably have a pile of the original equipment laying around. I really only need one, but if you want to part with your set as a whole, it wouldn't hurt me to have a few extra laying around.

Message me if you are interested in selling your '76-'78 era hubcaps! Thanks!

 

Nevermind! I just took delivery of a set of 3 fine used hubcaps from another TM member. Thanks y'all.

 

Post some pics of the lux rockin them. Yours looks like mine kinda.

 

Haha ya, our trucks do appear related, eh? My truck definitely looks up to yours, though.

I'll try to have a little photo sesh later today and post em up here. I want to take them off and polish them up soon, and clean+spray the wheels black to give it a clean, classic look. Can't decide if I want the black to be matte or glossy... I'm open to suggestions.

 

I would pick a different color. I used to do bronze with the chrome caps and liked that. And I think everybody looks down to me, not up.

 

Ya, I've seen some bronze treatments on here and they do look pretty sweet. I'll have to give it some thought.

I posted a pic of the current look in my build thread, 100% matte body and all:

i have some bomb can from the parts store "meant for wheels" so they say. has a picture of a rim on it is all i remember lol. i used the medium bronze. they have a gold tone too, but i havent tried it. ill find the can later and get the name off of it.

 

Cool. I appreciate that. Bronze may be the way I go with them after all. I know that I definitely need to use some serious automotive style paint and "meant for wheels" sounds just about right.

 

For me $5 a can sounds right. Way cheaper than takin them in for paint. It's just steelies on an old truck after all.
