NY-B61 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I have 38K rears also. 7.5" caps are just a shade too small and 8's are way too big. I made two tiny, parallel cuts in the curled lip of my 7.5's with a tree limb pruner (a hacksaw would probably work ), bent the 'tab' a bit to go over and lock on the odd stud. They haven't fallen off or shifted yet. Hope this helps! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41093-hub-caps/#findComment-297991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61mack Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Make sure all the axle nuts are turned straight with the axle and they will pop right on, can,t remember what size they are. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41093-hub-caps/#findComment-298004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I found mine at kenworth northwest they had to order them, as they no longer stock the "smaller" ones.
