    Thanks. Is this number on the rear of the center ornament or is it on the rear of the cast "starburst" component of the cover?

        OK, thanks again. Now let's hope that some others chime in with some more data points.

          I researched this a bit more. According to GM the same wheel cover optional on Corvettes was also optional on early 1969 full size passenger cars. It MAY also have been optional on 1968 passenger cars. This was the GM #3923630 assembly which included the GM #3923631 center ornament.

          Now, I hope no one is going to try to convince me that there were two different 3923630 wheel covers, one for the passenger car application and one for the Corvette application. I really hope that no one is going to try to convince me of that.

            Is the part Number on the back of the P01 center 3972264?

              I don't think so. For one thing, that part number did not even exist until later 1969.

              I THINK that may be a casting number for a component of the GM #3972794 ornament that was part of the GM #3953405 wheel cover. This cover was used on later 1969-72 full size Chevrolets as well as other 1970+ Chevrolet models.

                Wes, Does that wheel cover look like a PO1 or a PO2?

                  That's the problem I am a a neophyte. I don't know what a P01 looks like. I only have bits and pieces of info as to what they should look like. I guess I am going to have to buy the 68-69 Technical Information Manual & Judging Guide. Don't have a 68 have a 73 that came equipped with covers. Should have purchased a new set back in the early eighties, but wanted those aluminum wheels that never made it in 73.

                    Wes, The number 3972264 did that come off the center cap of the wheel in the photo of your fist post? The easiest way to tell a PO1 from a PO2 is were the fins meet the center cap is if they are pointed it's a PO1 if they are square then it's aPO2

                      Yes part number 3972264 is on the center of the wheel cover in my first post. That picture show the fins coming to a point.

                        Can you post a photo of the center cap and part number?

                              Rumor has it that an updated version of the 1968-69 Manual will be available shortly. However, there are no changes to the P01-P02 information. If you want something closer the 1970-72 manual has the same P01-P02 photos. I don't have the original photos so I can't send them to you, and the person who does have those photos can't read this board any longer..

                                I explained to Wes in another post on this thread why I can't do that. And the person who has the photos is no longer an NCRS member so the lack of those photos here is the unintended consequence of other actions by NCRS Administrators. It will be interesting to see how long this post stays up.
