Dust caps? Hub covers? Center Caps?
« on: September 12, 2016, 06:03:57 AM »
Looking for the metal caps that go over the hub on my 75 k10. It has the np203 transfer case (that's the all wheel drive version) and I can't seem to find the caps anywhere? Maybe I am calling them the wrong name, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Unless you can find a good used set, clean up/paint the old ones and reinstall as they don't sell those aftermarket. I ended up using manual locking hubs when mine deteriorated. Will have to keep those in the lock position. Good luck.

I believe bigfrosty is looking for the front axle cap that would be on a full time setup (i.e., no locking hubs). 

Should look something like in the photo.

These show up, used and new, on ebay.
