Has anyone found an alternative style center cap that will fit the factory styled steel wheel? I have a set that I want to put on my '64 Fairlane wagon but not wanting the "page boy hat" shaped cap the factory used. Would love a baby moon style with perhaps the Ford script embossed into it....

Any suggestions??

THANKS

center cap or 'dog dish' / 'poverty cap' lug covers?

center cap is around 2" diameter / lug covers are around 8" but there are many specific sizes indistinguishable with the naked eye.
some very close to each other. been through it looking for baby moons for my Mopar Rally's

any pics or link to these styled steelies?

IIRC Wheel Vintiques has some moons, maybe Coker?

Hey! yer nuts is showin ...

Drill the holes in the wheels for mounting, use Mopar screws to mount the caps. Won't fly off, and they cannot be popped off in a parking lot by a thief.

The Aussie Fords had an alternative for the 12 hole, 14" rims.

 
Repros look pretty expensive, a lil over 300 a set in USD,  Who knows what shipping would be to US, though a neat alternative look.

I love those, but to get them here is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I know the OEM cap is about 6 1/2" dia on the back side so I'm hoping I can find something like a baby moon with the Ford oval embossed into them.
