Hub caps/Center caps
I've been looking for hub caps or center caps for my 1970 F250. It's a 4x4, with 16" steel wheels (8 lug pattern). Can anyone point me to a set of 4 that's in good to fair condition? Thanks!

Re: Hub caps/Center caps
Can't point you to any and the main reason is there was none made for the 4 X 4 from the factory. You have to make the front ones yourself, here is a picture of mine. I used a metal hole saw to cut out the center then smoothed up the edges with a small die grinder. Make sure you get the stainless steel ones so they won't rust.One_F250 wrote:I've been looking for hub caps or center caps for my 1970 F250. It's a 4x4, with 16" steel wheels (8 lug pattern).

I am of an age now that most of life's lessons were learned the hard way;
Life is hard, but it’s harder when you’re stupid.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.
Never ask how stupid someone is 'cause they'll turn around and show you.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
If you had the choice “Looks or Brains” take the Brains, Looks will get you thru the first half, but Brains will last a lifetime.

Those look great! Thanks for the tip. It looks like I'll have to try the same thing as you. I found plenty of caps for 15" wheels, but none for the 16".
