Kevin Wiles Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 You know the monte carlo turbine hubcaps??? They also came on corvettes. I remember there is a slight difference in the center. Can someone explain the difference and tell me which is which? And by the way, once I figure that out, I will have a set of 4 for sale.

Canuck Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The ones in the first photo are the Corvette ones. he ones with the more flat centre are the Monte ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKZ03 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 My original caps came with my car & were standard with the Custom package. They look like the last pic you posted & the center cap is flat, not recessed. Part # inside cap reads 3972794. Can get you pics later this evening if needed.

Canuck Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Monte Carlo hub caps: I wonder if the centre ridge that are on the Vette caps would interfere with the fender skirts which is why the Monte ones are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wiles Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 ok then. thanks! The ones I have are from a corvette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have a nice set for Monte...the neighbor gave them to me. He bought them on Ebay for his Corvette, only to find they were the wrong type. He found what he needed and gave these to me. I took them because he was trying to help me out, but I don't have a need for them. I guess they aren't too rare... is there a market for them?

bigtankjones Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I had a set of the Corvette ones on a Chevy Half Ton BIG 10 that I bought a long time ago. I wish I would have known what they where at the time. I would have saved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
