Dog dish caps

[440 4 speed]

I have never seen a small cap on a 66-7 Charger.

Frank (duster22), can you post a picture of your wheel centers? Also a price? Thanks.

(440 4 speed), it's rare to see the correct caps on any mopar today. If you find photos from 1966 or 1967 that show other caps, please post them.

All of the factory brochures, for 66-7 Chargers do not show a hub cap. 66 shows a road wheel and a spinner full wheel disc. 67 had the full wheel disc sans spinner and a road wheel, also a imitation road wheel look full disc. I will go through my information to check and see if a hubcap was available in 67. A little light on 66.

Yeah, you can't go by any of the brochures because they didn't highlight the non-option poverty cap in them. So you have to find old pictures or movies to find out what they had.

I have just the wheel center , the other pic is what one of my customers sent me of a completed wheel.

Does anyone for sure, know what the 2460587 dog dish caps look like? According to the parts books, they are listed for the '66 Plym B body, '66 Plym C body, and '65-'66 Chrysler Newport. This doesn't make any sense to me as I am pretty sure these are the large 10" black painted Plymouth caps like these shown in this picture. But these wouldn't have been used on the Newport. Ebay lists these large black caps as being no. 2768042. But that's definitely wrong as that part number is listed for deep dish wheels and would have to be the smaller diameter 9". I believe that one is actually the same as the small cap Charger, but with a Plymouth symbol on it. I'm not sure of the application for those though, but probably wider (deep dish) wheels on the '66 Fury.

Since the Newport caps were used in '65 it seems that the Chrysler would use the same caps as the '65 Plymouth, except maybe the argent colored one instead of black? If so, there is an error in the parts book. Maybe the Chrysler version is a different number like 2460582, which is one up from the black painted Plymouth version? If not, I am really confused what each of these part numbers refer to or what the argent colored one or large black Plymouth caps would be. Also there isn't enough part numbers to account for all of them. Anyone know for sure about any of this?

1967 Belvedere used a 10" version of this cap, while the 1968's had a 9" version. I have also seen 1967 Belvedere's with a fancier ' turbine ' 10" cap.

I'm looking for someone to "re-hoop" a pair of Motor Wheel Spyders from 14x6 to 15x7 with a chrome hoop.

Know anyone?

Stockton Wheel in California will do it. But check around locally.

Those centers are pretty slick duster22. Nice to have when you need them.

Hoping to find someone East of the Mississippi.

Last I was aware, Stockton didn't do chrome hoops.

There are two private parties West of Mississippi, but neither has a good rep for timely service or good communication.

...and shipping....

You might try The Wheelsmith (.CA ) or Diamond Racing Wheels (.WI ).

Anyone know for sure what caps are correct for 66?

I have seen two different styles, and they are different sizes.

I know these are both 67 models but finding pics of 66 is proving difficult.

Finding the wheels with the larger center is also proving difficult.

I have 6 and they are all different. 5 and 5.5" widths, 3.5 and 4" back spacing and 4 different center styles with different perimiter hole shapes and none one or five holes besides the lug holes. I even have one with 4 "tangs" to mount the cap, as the others all have 3.

I have had the same question for over 2 years now and have attached a photo journal of dog dish caps that I found on this forum. Hope it helps.

Nice post @Dean Prevolos info like this is hard to come by and laid out with pictures and part numbers helps a lot.
