Oh yes, let me add, I do indeed have the 'dog bowl' type of hub caps. So with the info elmo39 and DodgeKCL provided, I plan to take the course of action I outlined above. Thank you both, MikeR

Thanks for the feedback. I believe the wheels I have are not original. The tires I have have a lot left on them, so I think I'll wait until it's time to get new tires, then searh again for the original wheels. Notwithstanding, I would like to somehow have radials using wheels that can hold my hubcaps. I'll keep poking around and find wheels that work then see what can be done about radials on the proper (hubcap compatible) wheels. Thanks, MikeR

I need hubcap clips for my 1942 WC 1/2 ton. The wheels I have may not be orininal, dunno. I have radials on them. The wheels are 15 inch, with a standard 5 x 4.5 inch lug pattern. The tires are P205/75R15. The hubcaps fit very nice and snug as I hold them by hand to the wheels... but they need clips. Any help, any ideas? Does anyone have just one clip? With one as a template, I could possibly have more made. Naturally, if anyone has more, or a wheel with clips, I'm interested. Thanks, MikeR

I have a 42, the headlights are on the crown of the fenders. BTW, I'm looking for hubcap clips, does your '39 have them? use them? I have hubcaps, but the wheels on my truck have no clips for the hubcaps... it is also possible that I have the wrong wheels, dunno. Anyway, have you clips? MikeR

I rebuilt a 42 WC, it's now quite nice. You can get most parts in Hemmings. I found re-built flat 6 engines (in a crate) at South San Fracisco Engine Remanufactuing Co., in S San Francisco, CA. This was about 10 years ago, they had dozens of engines, used for United Airlines tractors at SFO. => I need your help, do you have any extra hubcap clips for the truck? Or even just one? With one as a model I can get some more made. desparate. MikeR
