What Chevy trucks or vans came with small hubcaps

[junkyardjeff]

Restoring a MPC mid 70s stepside and thinking about going bottle cap hubcaps on it too so where any truck kits made with them.

The AMT Chevy vans all had them. Here's a pic of them on a 72 pickup I did.

The steel wheels in those vans are also correct for the trucks, too. The hubcaps are only correct up to '77, maybe '78.

The Revell 64,65 Chevy pickup kits had them and there different that the ones from the AMT Chevy van kits.

Scenes Unlimited supplied the sets that I bought ; however , it appears as though the hubcaps and their accompanying wheels are ostensibly missing from their site .

I , too , am going to build the MPC 1978 Chevy Pickup . I had a few when they were new , but I was too young to properly assemble them . I'm starting with an unbuilt sample which I got for a song from eBay a couple of years ago .

Now , if only Round2 could restore the 2-wheel-drive parts ...

Id be happy if they made one with a fleetside long bed.

Hi guys, Danny from Scenes Unlimited, I do have the wheels and caps available. Their number S22 in the wheel section. Didn't realize till I read this thread that the picture of the hub caps was missing. I will definitely take care of that today......

I did pick up the caps from a 65ish truck but would rather have the correct era if possible.

I checked out Scenes Unlimited and will be getting wheels for the Chevy and Dodge truck projects

I do not remember seeing those caps on a 73 and up trucks,I do remember seeing them on 67 to 72s and some vans so I need to do some research in old dealer literature photos,now the chrome Plymouth caps they sell I remember on some 70s Dodge trucks so I will be grabbing a set of them for my same era Dodge truck project. I am going to google 78 Chevy p/u and see what I can find.

[junkyardjeff]

Did some looking and those caps are from around 69 to about 75 and if the pictures of trucks I seen had the correct caps the 78s were similar but flatter so they might be the closest I can get.

[Longbox55]

Took a look myself on the Old Car Manual Project, '77 was the last year for those caps.

[junkyardjeff]

They will work since I really do not know the exact year it was modeled off of.
