Are these even worth anything?

At one time I had my Uncles 1978 Ford F150. He bought the truck new and installed aftermarket wheels right away. I found these while cleaning out my garage and need them gone. Thought about Ebaying them, but I haven't seen any for a 4x4 on there, or at least last time I looked. Here is a pic of the back one (of course the front ones have a center hole). I dusted it off, it would look great shined up.



EDIT They are sitting on a upside down garbage can, those are slots and the can showing through.

That's a gorgeous rim, I'd definitely ebay them after a few more chime in with some knowledge. I'd be curious to see what he swapped em for. For some people, stock's just never good enough.

wow, mine are way nicer than those. Maybe I'll just wipe them down and sell them to a member on here for less than I'd want on ebay. I'd like to see them go to good use and not the land fill.

The diameter for the center hole on the front ones is an important factor ..

actually the HP 44 in 8 lug has the same size hub, the LP would have a bigger hub, I own both.

wouldn't the 8 lug 15" wheels have to be pre-front disc brakes?

The point is the larger diameter hub cap holes that fit the larger hubs are worth more because there harder to find Since you have both hubs (large and small) measure if the caps fit the larger hub than there worth more ..

Those are nice hub caps....nicer than the ones I have on now that's for sure. But shipping to Canada would prolly be getting crazy with costs. Good luck though, can't imagine having a hard time selling those.

I would definitely E-bay them.
Dennis Carpenter reproduces the 2 WD (no center hole) version and sells them for $150.00 each!.
He sells the plastic part for $80.00

holy crap...I'll offer up on here first, like I said, I'm not out to get rich, just a fair price and everyone is happy. I can look into shipping to Canda for you just to see.

looked it up, UPS rounds a 5lb package up to 100lbs for shipping to Canada, its $100, that's insane.
