Thanks for the Feedback! Yeah, I knew all the Magnum 500's were similar. Ford, Chrysler, AMC all having the same 5x4.5 pattern whereas GM was a 5x4.75 pattern. I just wasnt sure if the retainers were the same size or not being that is all I need. I ordered some GM retainers for a 69 Camaro SS and will see if those work. I'll post back here on the outcome. The GM retainers are about 20 bucks cheaper than a set of Mopar ones after shipping costs and a little more readily available. It's good to know that the Mopar ones will work though. Thank You bigbad69.

Subscribed... I too would like to know, because I like the shorter look of the SS caps over the taller mopar caps I have.

I just got the Chevy "SS" Retainer Caps in yesterday to try. The ones I purchased are made by Dynacorn pn M1345. I bought these off of ebay for $10 each. They are indeed a perfect match for the Magnum 500's and the AMC Center Caps so I dont see any reason you couldn't use the "SS" retainers and Caps. Especially since bigbad69 used the "SS" caps on his. The Chevy "SS" retainers are just more readily available and cheaper. Hope this helps!

This is a concours detail. If you're not into concours shows, then the Dyncorn caps are a no-brainer. Heat the back side of the cap to soften the glue, remove the SS label, glue the AMC label in its plce. |

Thanks for the info guys, I'm probably going to order the SS center caps on ebay. I found a guy selling them for $74.95 a set with retainers and bolts, I can't pass for that price. I'm going to try to make a custom decal for the centers if I can.
