1937 Dodge Truck Chrome Hub Cap

1937 DODGE TRUCK HUB CAP - Although this basic design was used from 1935 thru 1938 model years, there are differences . . . even within a given model year. For example, there are 1937 Dodge truck hubcaps with a larger diameter opening (on the backside) than 1937 Dodge car hub caps, thus they are not interchangeable. A guide for selecting the correct size hup cap, as measured from the backside, is as follows:

1936 Dodge Truck & Car = 7.0" I.D. and 8-3/8" O.D.
(for artillery wheels, trucks = 10 spokes, cars = 14 spokes)
1937 Dodge Half TonTruck = 7-1/4" I.D. and 8-15/16" O.D.
(smooth back, no clips on hubcap - for solid steel wheels);
1937 Dodge Passenger Car = 7-1/4" I.D. and 9-15/16" O.D.
(smooth back, no clips on hubcap - for solid steel wheels).
1937 & 1938 Dodge 3/4 & 1 Ton Truck = 8" I.D. and 9-1/2" O.D.
(smooth back, no clips on hubcap - for solid steel wheels).

Measurements are approximations to the nearest 1/16".
