<VV> Installing Dog Dishes

[aircooled6 at prodigy.net]

Nope!  They wont fit.  I thought they might as well, but no dice.   
The three "nubs" are farther apart on the 14" wheels.  I had some  
really nice 67 style hubcaps that I wanted to transfer over to my Van  
or, onto the 14" rims I got for the 67 4 door.  Didnt work.  I found  
a set of very nice 69 Impala wheelcovers that look just right.  In  
fact, I have a set of them on my van and the 67 now.
