Casey Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) I have two slightly different styles of Chevy dog dish style hubcaps, but not sure which kit(s) each was included with. *edit* Below left, caps from the AMT Chevy Van kits, but not sure on the caps pictured on the right...MPC, maybe?

Lordmodelbuilder Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The one on the left is from the AMT vans. Never seen the other one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I can't think of an MPC kit with those hubcaps. Besides the AMT Chevy vans, one of the early Sixties SMP/AMT Chevy pickups had caps like that. I'm thinking of the '62, maybe the '61: '60 had a different style cap, '63 had a cap like these but it was molded as a unit with the outer wheel.

Just checked my '62 kit and they look the same. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmobil Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Sorry for hijacking the thread but what would be the best source for these hubcaps? The ones you see on the bottom c10 step side. And are they the same as these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't hotlink the images from that website, but they are saved and uploaded here: They appear to be the same, but I'v never seen those particular hubcaps in either a kit, nor available from the aftermarket.

leafsprings Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Newer style '76 thru late 80's pickups above, nope, never been done before. 3/4 tons are around 12" in 1:1 and 1/2 tons are around 10 " in 1: 1, Another project for Bill Lanfear to come thru for us.

Atmobil Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have one 1:1 hubcap like that, not sure if it is 12" or 10" but I got it from a friend that was looking for a new lid for his fryingpan and found the chevy hubcap to be the wrong size. I have for years wanted to build the blue and white C10 Cheyenne and put it on a base with the farmer and the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) The only accurate 70's Chevy van hubcap was done by Revell in 1/32 scale, it is the'69 thru '75 style used in 1/2 ton vans and 1/2 ton pickups. Unfortunately, it is molded into the wheel, and its 1/32 scale.. AMT tried doing the 1 ton version on their 1/25 van, but screwed up ( Casey's first photo on left ). The edges need to be filed down to be correct. Edited March 8, 2019 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
