Are these hubcaps for the '83 F250 pictured in your photo gallery? If so, they are not the original to the truck, were offered on 1968/77's.

C8UZ-1130-B .. Hubcap-11 3/4" diameter-Stainless & Black / Obsolete

Original applications: 1968/77 F250 / 1969/74 E300 / 1975/77 E250 (E = Econoline).

There is an E100/150/200 & F100/150 version (15" wheels), another for E350's & F350's. The E350/F350's are the same diameter, will fit, but are deeper to clear the Dana 70's rear axle hub.

Besides stainless, tu-tone black/argent painted versions were offered for all the above. These painted hubcaps were only used on the el cheapo models.

Note: Please, when asking questions, list all the pertinent info: Year, Series, Model (engine/trans and etc if applicable). Some people will not think to look at gallery pics.

And, when asking for parts (new/used and etc), also list what city/state you live in. There may be a source nearby that has what you're lookin' for.

Those are pre 77 hub caps

Pre 1978 hubcaps, cuz I looked in the '64/72 & '73/79 truck parts catalogs to see how many years they were used. I knew the part number from the get-go.

These 16" stainless hubcaps can be hard to find in nice condition. No one reproduces them, no FoMoCo Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any NOS.

thanks for the info. i will keep looking at the wreckers for one center cap at a time i knew that they were not period correct for the year, but came with the truck and i really like the look

I missed it by 1 year. It's funny how the 78 brochure has those same caps in the picture of the supercab, but they didn't offer them.

In fact the 77 brochure has the exact same supercab picture. So FORD couldn't spring for one new picture.
