1986 F250 HD 4x4 hubcaps

[12pilgrim]

Hi guys, been searching eBay for the original dog dish hubcaps for awhile and finally bought a great looking, non dented pair that still has all the black paint. The rear ones fit great, the front ones with the cutout for the axle are too narrow to slide over. Was there a bunch of different sizes of these or is there a particular way to make these fit that I can't see?
Also, I'm repainting the old gal panel by panel..

I'd have to guess that they came out on a truck with a different front axle and had smaller diameter hubs.

The Dana 44 lockouts are smaller than the Dana 50/60 Hubs. I would say yours being an extended cab, that you have a D50….and the truck those came off of had a D44

That is definitely true. I ended up finding this online last night, if anyone else is in my shoes someday hopefully this helps..

Oh, man. Never even knew that they made hubcaps for my truck. Something else to look for now, I suppose.

Your paint work looks beautiful! I wish I could get similar results out of my hands....nope, eye hand coordination

Another Mid-TN bullnose! I'll wave if I see you around. I've rattled into town in mine from M'boro 3 times this week picking up this/that to get my daughter moved into her new place.

Wow that's awesome! Your truck looks fantastic. We'll definitely give a wave. Glad you're in the area.. let's keep in touch

I may not be in a bullnose, but I’ll keep an eye out and have a wave at the ready. I live outside of Murfreesboro and commute to Nashvile every day. My ‘92 isn’t my daily driver right now, but it should be back in that role in a month or two.
