57-60 Hubcaps

6A-1130-A (replaced 6A-1130) .. Stainless Steel Hubcap w/Ford letters painted blue / Reproduced
Late 1947 & 1948 Ford Passenger Cars / 1948/52 F1 / 1953/56 F100.
There was another 1953/56 hubcap, it was similar to the above, except it was painted gray with the Ford letters painted red.
There is no indication in the 1957/63 truck parts catalog that either of these hubcaps were used on 1957 F100's. All it lists is B7C-1130-A
I also have a 1956/57 F100/600 bound paper Ford Truck Chassis Parts & Accessories Catalog printed in 1957. It lists 6A-1130-A for 1956 F100, B7C-1130-A for 1957 F100.
And btw: 1957 production didn't begin until late 1956, as Ford was having production problems with the '57's at the Pilot Plant in MI that was used to train assembly line workers.
It's too bad mrcman, that we can't ask Preston.

Bill i dont want to get into a pis'n match on this one but i have a book with early production photos of the 57 and they have the 48 to 56 style, i believe they were the first production models, source Ford Pickup Color History- by brownell & mueller page 81, Ford pickups by Paul Mc Laughlin page 9 & 11.
and i had read a snippit on this once before and cant find it right now mentioning this. also ford truck I.D numbers 1946 to 72 page 71.
