WTB 1968 Dodge dog dish caps....and other ideas...

[Thrashingcows]

I'm a huge fan of steel rims and dog dish caps, but not sure yet if I'm going to go this route on my 68 Coronet 500 convertible but would like to have a set of 4 stainless steel 9" dog dish caps if I do decide that is the look I want. Looking for nice clean driver quality with no major dents or dings.

OR....

here's the other idea.... I do prefer the look of the 66/67 10" dodge poverty caps more to be honest but obviously they won't fit the later 9" hubs on 15" rims. I saw a post about a member cutting down the later 70/80's 9" caps and then using construction adhesive to glue the 9" ring inside the 10" cap....so I might be interested in a nice set of the 66/67 10" dodge caps and some beat up 9" caps as well....as long as the mounting rings are in usable shape on the 9" caps.

Let me know what you have.

Thanks I did see those...but I'm up in Northern Canada and by the time I paid exchange, shipping and handling and all the particulars to build the rims I'd be into 4 steel rims for over $2000 I bet!

The '68 9" caps are just a smaller version of the '67 10" caps. The conical design with the Dodge "Fratzog" in the middle are mostly differentiated only when they are side by side.

Yes and no...the 68 is the same basic design as the 66/67 but not quite as fancy IMO.

For comparison....pics stolen from Ebay auctions....

66/67...

68...

Got mine on ebay for $115 for the set. They were in really good shape so I just hand-polished with rubbing compound and then used some 2010 Ram black touch-up paint to freshen up where the factory paint was.

Those look nice. They are the A-body version (late) correct??

The '66 are the smaller 9" caps.
