1973 Dodge full wheel covers

[smellyfatdude]

Anyone know if these were ever kitted, or resin cast?

Didn't some of the original  MPC pickups have a similar wheelcover?

That most certainly is them. I found a video on gluetube, showing somebody unpacking the contents of the above kit.

When he pulls out the chrome tree, yup there they are. I doubt I'd find any originals, but maybe someone has resin cast some.

I'll definitely be keeping my eyes out. Thanks for the help!

Some of the MPC 1970's Dodge van kits included these covers.

Sets of four do show up on eBay every once in a while.

I have those wheels and can cast some up. Send me a PM

Pm sent.

None of the van kits had a wheel cover like those in the '73-'75 pickups.  The one in the earlier van kits resembled an earlier full size car wheel cover, more like a '69 or '70 piece.

are these the ones?

No, those are the AMT original issue '65 Dodge wheelcovers; also found on the clear trailer.

thanks, for the ID.....

Thank You.

Now, I know what those are!  Odd that they should live on in a semi-forgotten trailer kit, of all places.
