Re: The rarest Ford hubcap in existence OK, Here's where I got my information about what this cap is. it was from Jerry Wendley (I may have spelled his name wrong). He was involved in the start of the Ford V8 Foundation several years ago and he was looking for one of these caps for a 1942 Ford 3/4 ton. (He may have passed away) He contacted me through Jim Edison and I happened to have one of the caps he wanted.
As far as "rarest" it depends on how hard you're looking for a set of these caps. It was just meant to be light hearted entertainment on New Years day. Numerically the 3/4 ton trucks seem to be very scarce, and the tonner cap is designed different and won't fit the 3/4 ton. As others have pointed out the 3/4 ton first appeared in 1940 so it may be possible that this cap was started in 1940 because of the 4 cyl being offered, although a 1940 sales brochure I have shows a 1939 Standard cap on the 1940 3/4 ton and the tonner has the large V8 as one of my photos show Anyway if whoever thinks they got it right, I'll gladly send you a pair of NOS fiber rear axle seals, just send your address to me by PM. |

Re: The rarest Ford hubcap in existence NOSpartsman-this is fun and a good way to learn something, thanks!
One of my best friends who passed away had a favorite saying "the only thing rarer then that part is the guy that needs it" ! which probably applies to that hubcap! |
Re: The rarest Ford hubcap in existence I have a 1939 express bed 3/4 ton pick up.

Re: The rarest Ford hubcap in existence Maybe a '39 passenger car or light commercial vehicle that was built with a little 60hp engine.
ps..I didn't read all the previous replies, so this may have already been mentioned. |

I know he owns a '42 Ford fordor sedan, 21A 73A according to the Roster. Possibly a US WWII military vehicle....could this be the vehicle he needed a hubcap for?? and possibly what THE Mystery Hubcap would be used for? Just a wild a$$ guess. I know Alan will probably shoot me down on this but I'm having fun!! :D :D |

Re: The rarest Ford hubcap in existence http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attach...p;d=1451724514http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attach...p;d=1451724514http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attach...p;d=1451724514
The above picture show the correct Hubcap used on the 1942 Fords. Also pictured is a 1942 Ford Fordor Sedan in full Military Dress. It is probably in the Special series. This vehicle belonged to Robert Schoen from Montana. It was on display at the Golden Jubilee Early Ford V8 Nationals held in 2013 at Lake Tahoe. The bottom photo shows a 1942 Ford Super Deluxe Tudor Sedan that has made its way to Australia in recent years. It has been suggested that the "mystery hubcap" (which this Post is all about) may be suitable for the 1942 Ford pictured in a previous Post. That is not correct, as the "mystery (rare) hubcap" will only fit the 1936 through 1939 Fords with what is commonly referred to as the "wide five" Wheel. A "wide five" wheel was also used in the early forties on the heavier "light duty" Ford Trucks. While production of the 1942 Fords was cut short on account of World War II, these Hubcaps may not be plentiful, they are not rare. |

Re: The rarest Ford hubcap in existence 3/4 ton actually first appeared in 1939, but the first year for 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder and V8 was 1941. This cap appeared on the early production 3/4 ton trucks in 1941, there were according to several sources about 2,200 made. as I stated before this meets all your criteria

Some Ford literature I have shows the 1940 3/4 ton with the same cap as a 1939 Standard hubcap. 1941 as Wooieman pointed out is when the cap of post #1 was introduced for 3/4 ton and I assume carried through to 1947 3/4 ton truck using the 1936-39 wheel bolt pattern and hubcap attachment, but I think they were split rims. Where are the 1941-1947 3/4 ton Fordbarn owners? Allanwoodieman and Ken of Alabama win the 1932-48 rear axle seals, both are correct. PM your addresses and I'll send them to you. |
