Hubcaps, they dont have to be perfect, small dents and dings are fine. They need to be off a 1977-79 K30 to clear the large Dana 60 bearing hubs. Let me know if you have a set or a pair. Thanks!

I may have a set. I know they are not perfect, but may work for you.
They either came off my '77 K30 or '86 K30, can't remember.
I'll rummage around and see what I can find tomorrow.
 
I found this set for $25. They have been sitting in the original owners garage for 20 years. :thumb:

Those look like 3/4 ton caps to me...check SweetK30's pic and you'll see the difference between 3/4 ton and one ton caps. The center hole area is flat on the 3/4 ton version, and raised out on the one ton version.

x2 buy the looks . but could be the angle of the camera. :whistle:

wait n see :popcorn:
 
So did you just open up the hole on the 3/4 ton fronts? That was my plan eventually as I want the steel rim/stock hubcap look too.

I've got the stock steelies and rear caps on my K30 currently and still looking for true K30 caps for the fronts exactly like you described them having a raised lip around the hole.

I just haven't been looking too hard for them yet. No hurry. I will find some when the time is right.

On a side note, has anyone ever put on trim rings with these stock rims and caps? Just to get a little more bling-bling out of them?

I've seen those hubcaps with trim rings...wasn't real big on the overall look myself.

I took a die grinder and opened up the hub holes.

Just before I got this truck I sold a super nice set of 1979 Spicer locking hubs that would have been perfect for this one. :(
