Ok what hubcaps will fit my 14” stock rims do they make after market caps. Will hubcaps from other makes and models work.Im just trying to find out what options I have

520/521 and 620 should work. Wayno or another 521 freak will know. 😄

I like the painted rim look with the smoothie center caps

The stock steelies with shiny caps are elegant. Like a pearl necklace, evening dress or sweater,  it goes with anything a woman can wear.

I’m still trying to make up my mind on painting the truck or keeping the original patina.i cleaned it up and put a coat of wax on it and it came out nice

There are basically 4 different styles of hubcaps that will fit a stock 521 rim.

Here is a 320 hubcap, they are rare and very hard to find and expensive, they are made of steel and chrome plated.

 

Here are what 520/521 hubcaps look like, they are also made of steel and chrome plated.

 

Here are 620 hubcaps, the early ones are made of steel and chrome plated, the later ones are made of stainless steel.

 

Here are 2 early Roadster hubcaps on the left, they are made of steel and are chrome plated, the 2 on the right are 620 SS hubcaps.

 

There are likely other hubcaps that will fit the stock Datsun rims made from 1962 thru 1979, Rambler hubcaps may be one as I have seen them on a Datsun 521 before.
