Im looking for a source for Wheel Bearing caps for my 69 Road Runner (11" Drums). Im running steel wheels and really need to replace the beat up ones on there.
From the looks YearOne only sells for 61-72 with 9" Drums. I picked up a temp set from my local autoparts store, but they dont even fit (seem to be slightly too large in dia.) nevermind im not happy with having China stamped on them.
Thanks
69 Road Runner, numbers matching 383, Auto.

I picked mine up last year at the Chrysler dealership. The part number for the pre-73 style is #1613416 Good Luck,  Frank

Just an FYI. Go to your local hardware store and pick up a 1.5" PVC coupling. Use it to install the dust cap. It fits right over the dust cap and stops at the dust cap lip. No dents... about .60 cents. Frank

Rick Ehrenberg sells them too. That's where I got mine.
Until total honesty is on the table, we're not even talking about reality...

if originality doesn't matter, you can get them in the "help" section at the parts store (oreilly's ). i put mine in the freezer for a few minutes and they went "almost" right in and once warmed back up, sealed well 
The ones I have seen in the help section have the C word on the end
