I believe the one pictured is correct.  It's available from BEA Mopar parts as a resto piece in stainless steel.

You learn something every day on here.  Had no idea the dog dish I pictured wasn't correct for 68.  I knew it was OK for 69 but thought it was the same for 68-70's.  I bought a set for my 69 from BEA and they are very nice.

BigBlockSam

 thanks for all your help guys . altough i'm not happy about the results . i'm not crazy about the 68 dogdish caps . i'm gonna have to re- think the whell combo on this car. Rene

What??
Those '68 Doggy dishes are WAY nicer!! I like 'em because they're distinct for '68, unlike the '69 versions which were used for years afterwards....even on trucks! :eek2:

Here's another point to note:
In 1968, there were several styles and sizes of Dog Dish hubcaps from Chrysler Corp.
This is a Chrysler-only 9" (measured across the back) Dog Dish.

Thanks guys!
I like the hub caps , it's funny because people either love em or hate em.
I would like some magnum 500's for it as well but in no way do I want to get rid of them
if someone could photoshop some 500's on there that would be very cool !!

Rene, I really think that these are the ones that are correct for the 69 bee.
And, as mentioned, they're $325 a set. Maybe I'll find a set at the swap meet in Texas.

The only one in that auction that is correct is the one on the right. The other three are truck/van caps. It is hard to tell from that pic but when you put them side by side the truck caps are slightly taller and look diffrent. They all will work though. The car ones are very hard to find, alot of people sell sell teh others as car caps. These are one year only caps. I have 4 truck and 2 car caps. I have been looking for 2 more to complete my set.  :yesnod:

BigBlockSam

wow! i really  am burnt out . i got it in my head that the car was a 68. it's a 69! duh :cheers: thats even better. i like those ones with the red line. back to ebay.
