Hello Rodney and Ole Truckers,

I dug this out of my "how to install hubcap
clips" file:  (Smokey Culver posted it in 2010)

Doug, if all else fails, you can do what I did for my 1950 3600.  
I
had split rims and didn't want them, but did want the stock style hubcaps.
So I went to the local junkyard and bought a set of Ford rims, which fit
perfectly, and mounted the clips myself.  
You can find my article about
installing clips at:

On my 53 Chevy
3100 I have 15" 5 hole ralleys on the rear since I changed to a
4x4 S-10
differential.  I have 15" 6 hole on the front.  I may just leave the
front
wheels as is.  I understand I can put 15" 5 hole on the front by using
49-54
Chevy car hub and drum.  Any way i am looking for suggestions on how to
put
original hubcaps with whatever wheels will work best.  Anyone got any
suggestions?

Rodney
