John was talking to a Studebaker friend of ours last week and something he said stuck with him a little. The friend said, "The easiest way to make a car not look like a piece of junk is to put the headlights back on it and put a set of hubcaps on it." Now, first of all, our truck was not the topic of conversation at the time, nor do we consider it a piece of junk. Neverthless, after a few days of thinking about this (who are we kidding, he talked about it in his sleep) John made the call to see how much these new pieces of the truck puzzle would cost him. Well, that started a whole other set of converstions with the pit crew in his head before he decided to purchase them (Why so much mental discussion? Let's just say that if we need to make next month's house payment, we could sell the hubcaps and get close! Well, maybe they weren't QUITE that bad, but they certainly were more than the used ones at the flea market). As seen here, the new polished stainless steel hubcaps give a little more dignified look to our beautiful truck. Now if we could only get John to stop checking them to see if they are loose when he wakes up, at lunch and before bed!

If I paid that much for hubcaps, I would be checking to see if they were loose three times a day as well! ( I have lost hubcaps before, one of them belonged to my dad's 68 pontiac... original factory spinners...ouch!)
Honestly, now the wheels look better than the truck!
dude i gave you nine hundred semi-crudy caps. Whats up with this pure stuff.
I'm willing to bet you took them off and locked em up so they couldn't fall. And you could sleep.
Best thing to do is just kick a dent in one so you won't have to worry anymore.
