Hub Auto on Route 83 should have them.
(630) 323-5865

I think they are only open on weekends now though.

9900 Route 83, Lemont IL

I had an extra pair here, but of course they were stolen.

When you buy the SS wheels make sure they are the right bolt pattern. I know it sounds dumb but they made SS wheels to fit the Cutlasses and the B bodies in the 70s. I believe it also makes a difference if you have front disc brakes. You will also want to figure out if you want the snap on center caps or the bolt on ones. Lots to think about. I have four of the SS wheels for the 70s B body cars with trim rings and everything. I think Oldsguy has some too.

I just got back from Hub, and there are at least 3 15'' rallys That I saw.
If you haven't gone already, look in the Delta 88 section, and bring a floor jack and a breaker bar. he has about 20 b bodies there from 79-85 all bunched together that have them on.

Yeah, what are you looking for?
There's only 1 79 in the whole yard, from the front it looked good. Meaning nobody kicked the grilles and headlights out...YET.
I gotta pull all the parts myself, so make it worth the 20 mile trip. I won't go there for a parking light, or an emblem.

Well, I really need the rear lower quarter fillers, and, an emblem. One that says "Delta" on the inside door panel. These would be for my 79 Holiday 88. Is it a two or four door? I also have a 78 Four door. Are there prices reasonable, or overpriced?

The guy there is great. He said I could take the fully loaded header panel for $120 if I wanted it.
I went there for a ps pump,and a fan shroud, and ended up leaving with parking lights and headlight doors too, for $75

I didn't see if it was a 2 or 4 door sorry
I only saw it from the front, between 2 pontiac parisiennes. Since they weren't what i was after, i didn't go over there all the way.

The owner is gettin old now and seems to me much more light hearted than he was 10 yrs ago when I first went there.
I think he knows the internet is cooking his goose, and he doesn't mind much cuz he is about to retire in a short spell.

I could've got a fully loaded header panel for $75 up at one of my local yards. The guy was being a real *****, so I passed. He said he'd just crush it.

yeah, no problem. I'll probably go back soon. I'm yardin like crazy before the snow. We shoulda had 3 inches by now here, but didn't so I'm celebrating.

I should just go with the digi camera and post pics of all the olds stuff left. for everyone.

$75 is an amazing price. City folk aren't all that courteous around here.
First yard wanted $250 for a fully loaded 79-85 header
Second, 150

Hub, $120

Those bastards will crush it too, without a blink.
When I told the 2nd yard they were too high in price, 2 weeks later they crushed the whole car I was asking about.

If I needed it, I woulda been pissed, but I am gathering extras before the internet takes over and "bone yarding" becomes extinct. More for the experience, than to fill my house with olds parts.
