I currently have the Plymouth Division caps on my car which I know are not correct for my car. My broadcast sheet has code 581 which shows to be 15" deluxe wheel covers. On the bottom of my broadcast sheet the build code for the wheel is 12B and under the wheel cover is number 10. Does anyone know which correct Plymouth wheel covers go on my car? Thanks...

I'm not sure which ones you need but if they are the checkered ones I have a set I'll trade for your Plymouth dog dish
 
Below are two of the factory hub caps. The third full cover hub cap is a wire with Plymouth Division on it. I will find a picture of it if I can. Here is the link. http://www.hubcaps.org/barracuda.html The wire is CHR331 and then there is a mag CHR318

I have a couple of sets of the hub caps in the first picture below that I would sell CHEAP!

Correct, in the data books there is only 14" available on Barracudas. The 581 is for full size cars I believe.
Check the bottom row of your fender tag, the 8th, 9th, and 10th digits will give you the tire size.
 
This shows your options on a 68 Barracuda (not shown are the small dog dish caps that were standard). Wheels were 14s not 15s.

Below are pics of the wire covers and small caps that I use on my car (note. With the small caps the wheels should be body color and without trim rings)…… I also have the wheel covers posted by Matthon in post #3.

The data book does not show the dogdish caps at all, and neither does the link you posted.
How do you know the dogdish was standard?
The data book also lists the 67 Fastback came standard with the "Mag style" caps, which is the same as the "deluxe" 68 cap, but does not list any other standard cap.
Was the dogdish standard in 67 as well?

Semi-related question: all the radios are listed as options, and my car does not have any radio option code on the buildcard.
Would it have come with no radio with an open space, or a delete plate?
 
The wheel covers in the link are "Optional" wheel covers. The "Standard" equipment wheel covers are not shown. The "Standard" wheel treatment would have been the small dog dish caps shown in the 2nd pic of my car with a body colored painted wheel.

Mag Style normally refers to the upper left in this link again....
these were optional but dealer installed.

Deluxe would be the lower right.

If you go here you will see that

Deluxe
Bolt-on Design
Mag-Style
Wire

Were all extra cost options.

This shows hub caps as standard….. (Hubcaps and wheel covers are not the same thing)

I don't know about the radio in your car. If it didn't come with one it would have had some kind of delete plate not open holes.

My 68 has a code on the fender tag for an AM radio.
 
After further research on your 67 question I found this…

Standard on 67-68 Barracudas, except the 67 fastback was a hubcap listed as part number 2823001 that features the Plymouth logo in the center (2nd pic of my car).

The standard for a 67 fastback and optional all others was, as you said a "Mag-Style" #2823010 (as posted in post #3).

So… In 67 the #2823010 was called "Mag-Style" but in 68 it was called "Deluxe".

The Dealer installed "Simulated Mag-wheel cover" #2808487 and the "Mag-Style" #2823010 can both be seen in the above links.
 
I double checked the databooks, the info on the 68s is correct, not that you needed me to verify that- lol.
Odd but the 67 databook does not list Hubcaps as the 68 does in the link you provided, which is why I was missing the difference.
It does only list 2 wheel covers for 67 with pics, the mag and the bolt on, and the mag is the 68 deluxe, (and also standard on 67 fastbacks).
I don't have a 67 sales brochure, but I know it pictures the dealer installed mag wheel cover.
The other 67 Plymouths have the deluxe and the rest listed the same as the 68 Barracuda.
Although the 67-69 Barracudas look similar, the 67s are definitely different in many areas.
 
Where are you getting your info, specifically the part numbers?
(if those are part numbers)

I need a radio delete plate!!
 
I may have a set of any of the ones discussed if needed, except for the wires.
 
Thanks for the help and replies. My tire code on my broadcast sheet is 39. I was confused when I saw 581 for wheeel code on my broadcast sheet and it showed to be a 15" wheel. So the wheel cover code 10 is the deluxe and are the pics Matthon posted? I do like the 68 correct dog dish caps. I need to trade my Plymouth Division caps for some 68 caps.
 
Ok went out to my Dad's and this is what he has, they're dusty but in surprising shape. there may be the earlier dog dish caps out there I can look if you like.

37 Fleetwood thanks and let me know what you want for a set. I am looking for a nice set of 68 dog dish caps also. I have seen some on Ebay. If anyone has a nice set on wants to trade for my Plymouth Division set let me know.
 
I am going to keep the stock look with the redline tires and also start looking for a new wheel tire combo. I use to have the crager ss wheels on my first Barracuda. I have been checking out other pics of wheel tire combos trying to figure out what will look good on a notchback.
 
$100.00 for a set. I'll look into a set of the others, the ebay ones look kinda pricey, I'll get them lower than that, if I can find a set out there.
let me know and tomorrow I'll start giving them a bath and see which match each other best. I think one has a small dent on the outer edge like a curb bump. the rest don't even have that much.
 
Fleetwood. Put me in for a set of the 68 DD caps if you come up with more than one set. PM me if you come up with something. How about a 150mph speedo for a 68 GTX?
Thanks

How about your black painted rims with the redlines and a set of chrome lug nuts- no caps, trim rings, nothing- give it a 440-6 RR look.
Maybe even add the 6 pack hood, they are available for the Barracuda.
