Where have all the hubcaps gone?

[fabman_52]

Between 1983 and 1992 they must have made 10 million Ford Ranger center caps, but I can't find 10 good ones anywhere.

between them falling off, getting stepped on while the wheel is off, or people who don't like the looks of them, I can understand why so many have gone astray.

actually they have all gone to the same place that socks go when they disapper from the dryer.

If you are looking for the chrome ones forget it and delete your post.

the crome ones turn to crap as the chrome peels off the plastic.

The black version of thesame centercab just gets grey and weathered lookign but that atleast can be corrected.

Allan, that is exactally what has happened to mine, in the front only. Funny, both rears which do not have the big hole cut in there are perfectly fine!

I was hoping to find some rears and then just cut them out for the hubs.

Are you talking about the hideous plastic things that were held on with three crappy pot metal screws? I threw mine in the garbage years ago and picked up a couple sets of the baby moon lookin stamped aluminum ones and the necessary round sheet metal clippy piece that screws onto the steel wheel.

Wrong center caps! I'm looking for the pan style. if someone can host I will send a pic. I'm not collecting.
I'm in the process of building a tandem axle, dual wheel custom flatbed Ranger, with a small matching Hallmark enclosed trailer, hence 10 center caps. Six for the Ranger, two for the trailer and one each for the spares.
As soon as I can figure out how to post pix I'll start posting the build.
Thanks, George.

Just went to the LMC site. At 50.00 a pop, and I need 10 of them. I don't think so!
