The 69-74 are the ones i want. I'm not a fan of the later ones.

I found a set on eBay, but they have 9 days left.

Without looking though old brochures, I thought they went through the '76 model year. At any rate, they are hard to find anymore. I have been looking (locally) for some 2wd 1/2 ton caps for a while and haven't found any. I have a real nice later style set, but they just don't do it for me.

If you really want to test your patience and persistence, try finding a pair of these:

Front 12" covers for 1 tons with a D60 axle (basically most of them) are hard to find. I've been looking for a spare set for a while with no luck.

They have that elongated cone that extends out to the shiny hub lock and covers the ugly, working part of the hub - I guess that's the reason. If it weren't for peer pressure, I'd chuck the things and just go commando - like in the images below.

Note the difference between how far the hub extends out on a K30 as opposed to a K20:


3/4 Ton:

1 Ton:

I'm not really sure on all this, so if anyone can confirm what I think is right or set me straight - please do.
