Ford F47 Hubcaps
We are restoring a Canadian built F47 pickup truck. The truck was in very good condition considering it sat since 1978 in harsh Canadian winters. As you can appreciate, the four hubcaps are in rather poor condition. It is probably not economical to restore them using an English wheel. Have been searching for accurate reproductions and cannot seem to source anything that is similar in configuration. They are constructed of stainless steel. The word FORD is in raised, blue letters as found with similar hubcaps. However, I would not consider these to be pie plates by design.
I might guess these hubcaps were used on earlier Ford products. Probably cars rather than trucks. Just a hunch. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks |

Re: Ford F47 Hubcaps
Those caps look a lot like '47-'48 Ford car and '47-'56 Ford pickup.
I believe Drakes might still have them yet. .

They look an awful lot like 6A-1130 caps to me.

Re: Ford F47 Hubcaps
Stainless can be straightened & polished back out if they aren't too badly dented. It does take a lot of work though.
