    Hey going to get a new set of wheels that are flat black but don't want to use center caps. Instead just going to show the dust caps on hub. Going to buy a set of four (4). Think mine might be scratched and old, anywhere to get new ones? Links? Threads? Thanks guys!

    Rear axle drum brakes no dust cap. You only need two. Any parts house should have them.

    wasn't this already discussed in the wheel thread a few days ago? There's only two hub caps and they're on the front. The rear is totally different.

    The noobs around here need to stop making a new thread for every little thing. :mad:

    If I found what I was looking for I wouldn't have made the thread. Rocket science. Soooooo if there are only two black dust caps for the front, what can be done for the back?

    Creativity. Work on it after you actually have the wheels in hand.

    BTW, dust caps are driven (tapped) into the hub. They are soft. It will be almost impossible to mount them w/o denting them. So, you might be thinking of other alternatives.

    I just use black spray paint on the rear axle hub and brake drum. Looks good IMO.

    I think rust looks pretty good !!

    I have yet to find any paint that lasts a winter on brake drums

    After crushing the ones on the Truck I could not find any but at the dealer so bought 4 putting them on is a learning experience
