Wheels with pins for hub cap
« on: July 25, 2024, 19:46:23 »
I have seen wheels with pins and some wheels that don't have pins for the center cap.  Mine has pins.  I haven't found any info on when they switched to wheels without pins.  Is there a year they changed them?

Thanks for the link.  I'll look at the part number on mine when I go out to the garage.  My VIN ends in 13302 so Sept of 1965 was the approximate production date.
