Hub Cap question

Indigofarm · #1 (**permalink**) 08-30-2009, 07:29 PM

Random request I know
I have a 96 F 250 7.3 PS. I lost my hub cap while rolling down the interstate at 70+ so no way to stop.

Would anyone have one they would like to part with or know where I could find one to match? (see link)
Truck still looks good but the missing hub cap makes it look trashy.

X2 on the junk yards. You might try ebay as well. Welcome to FTE!

There are dozens of vendors online of new and used hubcaps. Just google it and you'll have a good price to compare to what you can find at the yard.

thanks....diesel fan....vw tdi and I just rebuilt a mercedes 300TD and got many of the part contacts from the forum, i.e., parts cars. I thought many of the "boys" might have a parts truck hangin out but like my truck they probably all still hummin along

Ever find a hub cap?

My front ones are fine, but I've replace the back ones a couple of times. I don't know how they come off other than it seems to happen shortly after I am at an event with a bunch of people around my truck. I suspect folks use them as steps to reach into the bed for objects. Of course, no one ever tells me they accidentally knocked one loose.
You really have to beat those aftermarket ones onto the lug nuts. I just don't see how they could come off accidentally.
Lanny- how much do you want for your old ones? I kinda gave up and painted my axle ends gloss black and took the remaining cap off. It looks good, but would look great if I had the $ for some stainless steel acorn nuts to cover the lug bolts entirely.
But, I might consider buying your set off you and painting "NOT A STEP" on each of them before putting them back on.
