Hello friends, I have just procured a 1964 rhd,dj3a here in India. I have been searching for wheel caps for the same. It is on 15 inch ,4lug wheels. On previous discussions on the forum,I had gathered that a 1964 dj3a would have umarked wheel halfmoon/ dogdish chrome caps. On ebay there are sets of similar wheel caps on sale,the link i have added below. I request experts on forum to guide me to know if these would be rightfor the 1964dj3a. Regards. Dc http://m.ebay.com/itm/4-CHROME-STEEL-CENTE...WATCHING_ACTIVE |

the 15" dj hubcap were like this one below![]() the 1963 DJ with 13" wheels used a smooth babymoon hubcap and it was only used on the 13" wheels in 63. all other years utilized the W style hubcap (like above) besides the surrey style wheel cover ![]() the ones you have shown in link might work, if the measurements are same, I don't have any to check for you, maybe someone can check on measurements of the W hubcap for comparision |

Thanks for the info. Did these have a cuff to fit in to the rim as in the eBay ad? Or would be direct snap on to the rim. What would 1964 calls look like? Plain dome.! Thanks again. Looking forward for guidance. Dc. Anyone on the forum can please help with a spare set if available. |

Here's one for reference. Pictures show both sides.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Willys-Hubcap-Dog-...=item419c45d041 The ones you show seem to be "Baby Moons" for aftermarket rims where they fit inside a raised part of the rim. Willys caps fit over raised nubs on the rim, not inside. Good Luck finding a quality set. |

By the way, DC, I see the referenced Ebay cap description says 11"...but I measured mine to be 10" OD and 9-5/8" ID. I believe but can't swear to it, that Jeepster caps ARE NOT the same, so be careful...what you read in Ebay descriptions as truths...not all Willys caps are the same or will fit. |

Hi Steve We have that picture, but by 1964 the dj3a was no longer a Willys product. Any pictures of a 1964 Dj with wheel caps. Couldn't find one on my search. Thanks. |

This may be what you're looking for. I have no idea of any specs on it, but the rim fit looks the same style as Willys, actually a KH rim manufacturer used. Good Luck! ... https://www.google.com/search?q=photos+1964...s1AsAh9TD6-M%3A |

Would it have JEEP written on it or would be plain? These are similar to the dog dish ones. |

Charles, check again your measurement on the "W" dog dish. You must be tired. |
