Ford Spare Tire Cover
#1
#3
Actually, I think the original "Continental Kit" tire covers that had the Ford Logo's you may be picturing (I was when I wanted one), used the stock Ford Logo hub cap installed on the wheel. The cover kit is actually two (front and back) donut shaped plates that fit over the sidewalls, a stainless beauty ring on the wheel (which was stock on many of the cars) all held in place by a chrome or painted tread cap with spring clamps.
Im my pictures, the blue colored part between the chrome hub cap and the white inner ring of the outside cover is the wheel itself painted in the blue. Youcan just make out the stainless beauty ring at valve stem level (valve stem is at 6 o'clock)
They were normally installed on the cars. Just as a kick, when I cut th efender to put in the detent, I saved the piece I cut out and made a removeable cover for the hole....My "Cadillac Cover" for the "Continental Kit!"
Here's a picture of mine, one on a Shoebox Ford, and the pieces:
PS I happen to have an extra Polished Stainless Steel Tread cap (the one pictured on the truck is chrome) and brand new 6.70/15 bias ply tire, and the back "half donut" (iow everything except the front cap) if you need it. No extra hub cap though.

The cover Rockher man posted the link to is the extra kit I bought and have the extra parts for except the white cover. I bought the kit to use that cover on the back of my tire as the half cover I had didn't completely cover the back of the spare like I wanted it to.
It's a nice well built kit. The front white disc is fiberglass and the rim is polished stainless steel. You could undoubtedly get an emblem of your choice from someplace like C&G (and they have hundreds of different types and vintages) and simply drill it and use press nuts to hold it on. Would look very nice!
