Would those fit the bill?

As a side note, even though they don't say it, I assume these would work on the F450 too?

I made a tool to remove those caps, but the wife likes the wheel without the caps too so I may go the paint the hub with nice lugs route eventually.

EDIT: Actually, I really like that Raney's kit. Expensive, but I like it.

I haven't found the caps too difficult to remove. I just think they look cheap and bulky.

Indexable pry bar works great to remove them.

I carry them in my truck with the microfiber to put between the pry bar and wheel. They pop right off.

Same here. They're stuck on a shelf somewhere in case I decide to sell the truck down the road.

Thanks,

Great video on You Tube by Arod at PowerStroke Tech Talk. He shows how to use a piece of 2x2 to pop them right off. I had some 2x2’s around here. Cut two pieces to about 24”. Keep ‘em in the truck. Works very well. I don’t receive anything for recommending him. One of the sharpest techs around.


Thanks Arod.

Thanks, getting them off is one issue, but ultimately I think they look cheesy and probably make it more difficult to get an air chuck in there. I've ordered some lug nuts and I think I'm just going to paint the rear hub black.

1997 OBS Ford F-350 CC LB Dually/ 7.5 Eng. I have notice this isn't a thread that pertains to (OBS) Old Body Style,1990-1997 Ford F-250, F-350
on this Forum, at least not listed for what I have seen? On a second note I've been trying to find if anyone on this forum has a
simulator vehicle as listed above with stock rims (16"x6.5") and have changed them over to 17", 18" or 19" rims? I would think if
you kept the dually set-up they would rub without spacers?
