Ford E350 hubcap replacement

Lost a hubcap-would like to replace with a cover that fits flush to the existing rim but shinny. That way the tire valves can always be present for checking, Do they make some sort of cover that would slip over the lug nuts up flush against the rim, maybe in chrome or stainless. How about an eight lug chrome rim that would fit the front axle and the rear, outside wheel of the duel axle.?? Thanks

    For the best price I have used This Guy He sells the pacific dualies brand but at about half price than from the factory as mentioned in the other post.

    These are not seconds, they come in the brand name box from the same supplier.

    If you have any questions just call him. His name is Arlin and he is more than happy to help you out.

    There are many others on the forum that have used him and are very happy with his products, that is how I found out about him.

    As you can see he has a 100% approval rating!

    Also for ease of checking your air I might recommend TIRE MAN valve stems they make checking the pressure quick and easy.
    I love my Pacific Dualies from Arlin. :)
  • Congrats on your purchase. From what I've read the Callista Cove is a high quality, well built unit. That whistling in the door area could be just a matter of replacing the seal around the door. I have no experience with replacing shocks. I sold my first Class C at around 50,000 miles with the original shocks, which had shown no signs of needing replacement. My Coachmen MH has a little over 50,00 miles and doesn't seem to need shocks. If your ride is fine I don't know if you should even bother changing the shocks. Best of luck with the new ride.
  • Mich F--I bought a 1994 Callista Cove 28 foot by Carriage. Ford 460 with the E350 chassis. Original owner, garaged, maintained, and used--86,000 miles. Looks just like new inside and out. Has all manuals and maintenance records. Michelin tires in 2010.

    Two issues--have a whistle, seems to be around the top right corner of the main entrance door. Shocks have never been replace. I'm looking at Koni and Bilstein. Koni FSD not available for this chassis. Not withstanding the 18 year old shocks and the 86,000 miles it drives great. Picked it up in Kansas Tuesday and drove it back to Panhandle of Florida arriving last night. Now considering no driving/handling issues, (this is my 8th MH), what shocks do I go for. Got to believe the originals should be replaced. We won't be full time camping so won't be loaded very heavy. Will haul family/grandsons with their families now and than but will motel it some of the time, and will probably tow a vehicle on a Dolly now and than. Don't really like a firm ride. I have review the forum for articles on shocks and it seems to be split between the Bilsteins and the Konis. Suggestions welcomed.

    Can't help you with a hub cap, but I'm curious as to what you ended up buying? :B
