D2AZ1130J .. 15" Wheel Cover

Fits: 1971/72 Galaxie/LTD / 1972/79 F100/F150/F250/F350 / 1972/79 E100/350.

E & F250/350?? That's 100% correct.

Ford factory installed these 15' wheel covers not only on F100/150's (E100/150's), but on F250's & F350's (E250/350's), which as y'all know have 16" wheels.

How?

By using this: D2TZ1210A .. 16" Trim Ring

The trim ring was snapped on first, the 15" wheel cover was snapped into it!

 

I told my buddy about that ring and he looked at me like I had 3 heads....but I knew w/ 6 eyes I could clearly see the 16" ring!!!

 

Huh, I never would have guessed that! I still think the other style will look more at home on my 4x4.

 

How do you explain this?1978 78 FORD 4x4 Pickup Truck BROCHURE F150 F250 Bronco | eBay The C8UZ-1130-B was still offered till early '78. Your "parts book history" has failed another reality test.

 

No explanation yet? James K Wagner author of book Ford Trucks SInce 1905 and Ford employee and engineer for Ford is correct.

 

Ford did not offer 4WD front hubcaps for F250's until 1978.

like he said.

 

No, because I just noticed this thread, it wasn't posted in from 6/10/2009 until you dug it up.

Just because a pic in a sales brochure shows C8UZ hubcaps, dosn't mean they were available. You know what FoMoCo's advertizing agency did doncha?

They airbrushed newer features onto older trucks...and they did this for decades, not only in sales brochures, but in newspaper and magazine ads as well.

They also stretched vehicles to make them appear to be longer and less squat. People in the adbiz that do this are called '"elongators."

C8UZ hubcaps are not listed after 1977 in the 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog. I have 4 different editions of this catalog, 3 on microfiche, 1 loose leaf paper. They all say the same thing.

You bad mouth Ford parts catalogs, but how many do you have? None.

How many years of Ford parts experience do you have? None.

Arguing with you is like talking to the wall, you believe everything you say is gospel, and what I say is wrong. But you have no Ford parts catalogs nor Ford parts experience.

Ridiculous! Go find someone else to criticize, start with the person you see when you look in a mirror!

 

Read your own posts, first you say C8UZ weren't used after 1976, now your saying after 1977.Congratulations, your getting more accurate. I catch the errors and provide evidence, others don't. You just blow off what your books say. I personally seen brand new '77 F250's 2WD's with C8UZ's. My first comment was correct, the last C8UZ was used on early '78 models. True, some Ford photos are airbrushed, but those were not!

 

Are these the hubcaps in question?

4X4 Ford Truck Vintage Hubcaps, Polished Aluminum Dogdish 1967- 1972 Truck | eBay

EDIT: disregard, i see these are 15"

 

Another clueless ebay seller. These 15" hubcaps were introduced in 1977 (1978 for Bronco's), so they couldn't have been factory installed on any 1967/72 or 1973/76.

Look at the 2nd pic, the ID tag has a 1977 ID number (D7TA-1130-BA) printed on it. These paper ID tags were glued to the backsides of hubcaps & wheel covers.

D7TZ-1130-A .. 2WD front & rear, 4WD rear.

D7TZ-1130-B .. 4WD front, has a center hole for the 4WD's hub to poke thru.

Both listed in parts catalogs thru 1991.

 

Incredible..........................

 

Here is the other dog dish style used on '77 F250 2WD, besides the older style C8UZ. This big deep 12" cap was used on the '75 250 Econoline first. Check the books, you'll find the D5UZ ::1960S 70S 80S FORD TRUCK 2 3/4 TON HUBCAPS | eBay Here is a 77 F 250 with the painted version. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...item2323a37249

 

Not the deal, this is incorrect also, C8UZ's were never used on 3rd generation E 250 and E 350's, they used the new D5UZ caps on the link on previous post.

 

Even your Type 12 info is wrong. The type 12 never existed in 1977! This style came out in 1978.

 

Thanks for the info Tripleframe Your definately no dummy when it comes to hubcaps!
