Chevy hubcaps are dime a dozen comparatively speaking.
You find good GMC rear hubcaps that aren’t a fortune, don’t hesitate on getting them.
A bit harder than finding good 4wd 3/4 ton front hubcaps but not as rare as 1 ton front 4wd caps.
I know where there's a complete gmc set at an antique shop. Should I buy and flip it?

I finally got my engine put back into my truck. Trans went out, I pulled it back in February and had to save up for a few months set it off to monster transmissions back July. Got it back on the 16th this month. Was doing some small stuff to the engine as well. But it’s back in the truck now!

Morning session:
I installed the bench seat in the old girl this morning. Had to put it together in the cab due to lack of help.Started to install new weatherstrip in the passenger side vent window.....what a pain in the neck! For now I ended up pulling the vent window out of the '77 and using it. Installed the door weatherstrip/felt to both doors. Nice not having to put a tarp over the truck now. The only down side to this mornings session is when I went to install the arm rests I bought I couldn't find them. Uuuugh!

I have a set of 2 of the smaller style and a set of 4 in the larger style of GMC.

After looking online at what everyone wants for them, I might do well to just paint the center area black, or a blue that's close to my truck.

If those were for a 8 lug truck I’d have already asked you to get ‘em!
Bet you could get $150 for the whole set.

Didn't realize they were different between 6/8 lug. Thanks for the education. I would only really buy them for a forum member or if I could get close to double my money back on a flip.

1/2 tons are 10” dia 5 spoke.
8 lug trucks are 11” dia 6 spoke
1ton D60 4x4 front caps have a larger knockout for the locking hub than 3/4ton 4x4s

That seat almost makes me wish I’d done my own with a premade cover. Looks great!
On the vent windows, you must remove them to put new seals in. It’s one of those things that takes 500% longer than you’d expect, the first time but then you could do the next set in a couple hours.
Besides 99% of the time, the frames need refinished anyway.
There’s a couple threads and yootoob tutorials out there.

Makes sense when I stop to think about it. Only 4wd I've owned is this 02 I have. Always been 2wd being in the south and liking my rigs a little lower than stock
