New tech page (under construction) - Hubcap Identification

Post by FORDification »

A couple nights ago I got started on a little project I've been meaning to do for a while, and that is to put together a comprehensive listing of the hubcaps available for '60s-'70s Ford trucks, along with pertinent info on them, such as size, OEM part number, etc. I went ahead and posted what I've got so far....which isn't really much yet....at the following link:

Hubcap Identification Chart

As you can see, I'm just getting started. The pictures posted on this page are just some I've collected over the past few years in anticipation of getting this page started, so I don't really have a lot of info for each yet. I decided to go ahead and post what I've done so far so that you all could help fill in the missing pieces.

If anyone has access to a Hollander's Hubcap Interchange manual, that would give a lot of very necessary info. Otherwise, if you have access to any info at all (as long as it's verified correct) please e-mail me and I'll get it posted. In the meantime I'll continue researching this topic and adding info as it becomes available.

Sometime in the future I'll also be adding a factory wheel ID chart, showing all the various flavors of factory sport rims up through the '90s which will fit our trucks.

Well, I sure hope the 8 hours I invested into updating the Hubcap ID page is going to prove worthwhile to somebody. I finally got my hands on a copy of the Hollander Wheelcover Interchange manual, and have posted the info pertaining to Ford trucks on the ID page. Unfortunately, this manual only deals with full-size wheel covers, not any of the dog-dish styles commonly used on our trucks....so those areas of the ID page will have to wait until I can track down some more info on them. However, there's a LOT more information on this page than there was this morning. :D

Stay tuned for more updates.

Very informative page, Keith. From the chart it looks like my truck should have full wheelcovers.
Instead I have two different styles of hubcaps.
I like the ones I have on the rear better.

Well, just keep in mind that the Hollander chart that's posted to this page has no info on the dog-dish caps, so it's entirely likely that your truck came with one of those instead. I don't think there's any real way of knowing what you got, unless you got lucky and found your original build sheet. (And if you DID, you need to also go out and buy a lottery ticket!) ;)
