So last night I was driving down a 30mph well paved road when all of a sudden I hear my center cap fall off and roll into the opposite lane. I was cruising so I managed to stop in the direction it went towards. But it was at night so I had no luck finding it. Now I'm in hopes that perhaps someone has a center piece laying around that they can sell. I know it might be a long shot just to get that particular piece, but that's all I really need.

Here's a pick of the exact wheels I have on there.

Tire size is P205 / 75R15

I lost one too recently (just the cap part in the center) I did have a spare. Put some epoxy in before the screws that hold the 2 parts together...I had already found more loose ones. Got a single from Dave's Rally wheels in CA for $35 shipped. Thats metal not plastic.

This happened right when I got off work too. I was in such a good mood and then that happens. The rest of them aren't going anywhere. I checked them to see if they were loose and they were sealed in tightly.

they make anti-thef locks to keep your center caps,soneone stold one of mine and i got the locks for them.:poke:

And I remember...well being present....When a stolen one was being replaced by another back in the 70's. I have the last 6 #'s of the VIN engraved on all of mine. At least they could be identified if they showed up at a pawn shop or swap meet.

he is selling four of the center hubs but wont tell the price unless you call him

Those locks are definitely something I would like to get. Not because I'm afraid of someone stealing, but because another one of my caps may decide to run away from me :nanawoot:

And I'll try the guy from Dallas try to see if he would ship it up here. If that doesn't work I already have an eye on one that I spotted on Ebay :yell:

I think I have one spare center cap. Give me a day or two to check thru my parts inventory. If i read you correctly, you only need the cast, ribbed center. Am I correct?

This right here my friend http://www.ss396.com/mm5/graphics/00000007/NJ-1530.jpg\
And I just bought one on eBay for 19.95 and should be getting it in the mail in the next several days, but if you have one just laying about than the more the marrier. :smileyb:

someone actually stole one of mine while i was at work last night, i had the car parked in front of the pizzeria i work at so i could keep an eye on it....i have a question however, the chevy elky wheels say chevrolet on them, are the GMC Caballero version any different?

I have a Caballero and the wheels say Chevrolet Motor Division. I've come to learn that about 99% of what the El Camino had out of the factory was the same coming from the Caballero.

I think i can help all of you...I have a set I'd be willing to separate and ship to you.....pm or email me and I'll send you pics....
