    Just picked up a set of 15" 65 f100 wheels for my 53 f100. Looking for some hub caps that would look good on them. They use the outside holding not the earlier style. Pic for reference

    You can use any of the 49 & up Ford p***enger car hubcaps. The cars went to the outside mount caps in 49.

    $15 for the set at the Charlotte Auto Show a couple years back.

    The outer nubs measure 10-1/4" across. (since 1949, it is an Industry Standard)
    Even small Chevy caps fit...

    My son has a '27 T Roadster that had a Chevy rear in it at first. He put steel wheels on it, and surprised me when he put Ford caps on it, front and rear.
    (fronts were early Ford, with '65 pickup wheels)

    I am really liking the 1956 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer but seems kind of pricey. Any alternatives that have a similar style? Like the 50's custom look that could be achieved.

    The ones that sasrod posted are 61-66 f-100 caps. They look awesome on everything

    they still work good on there D! :)
     
  14. How about 15" wheels with 5 on 4 1/2" pattern with the same question?
    Chappy, I'm with you on Chaddilac's idea.

    These are '66 Hi-Po Galaxie I used on my old '66 truck, but like mentioned before they were used on a few different things.

    Ended up getting a set of these off ebay. Made a low offer on won them. Might get rid of the black part and paint them the same color as my wheels once I decide on a color.

    Good for you, the picture I posted was from an old c-list ad and they wanted some rediculous amount for them, so i p***ed. Post a picture up when you get them.

    Here is the ebay picture. He had them listed super high and thought he would say no to my offer as it was like a 5th of what he had them listed and he took them. I am debating running them as is, no black paint, or repaint the black with the wheel color I pick (will be a white/cream)
