Topic: Truck center cap size

  I've got a set of the 15x6 5 x5.5 truck wheel, used up until 96 I believe. Does anyone know the size/diameter of a chrome center cap that would fit these wheels. Like would go on a smoothie style wheel. Thx

  The 15X5 and 15X6 Ford pickup wheels up through 1966 would use the passenger style hubcaps (1940-1948). Ford used the 1948 Ford passenger style caps up through 1956 on the pickups. In 1957 they used a different design cap, but the '48 cap would still fit the wheel. All these wheels have the inner "bumps" in the center to hold the cap. In 1967 Ford pickups went to the larger style caps with the "bumps" outside the center. If you have wheels later than '66 you may have to experiment with various other Ford caps. The Ford passenger hub caps from 1949 on up may fit the later wheels.

  If you look on some of the aftermarket wheel sites like Vintiques, there are some original looking early Ford design hubcaps with other than original measurements and also Baby moons. They also describe how to measure the inside diameter for fitment.
