Found several hub caps in the shop that I'm not sure of which years they would be for. Can anyone ID these? They all fit a 3/4 ton rim...the all white one would need clips to attach while the other two fit over the "bumps" on the center portion of the rim. How hard would it be to find two more of the one with the blue bowtie?

I think the white ones are from 60’s trucks, while the others are 67-72 trucks. I had a set like the blue on my 1970 c10. I’m not sure if they were original to the truck though.

You could paint the yellow bowtie blue and save some money. Hub caps, in that vintage are pricey.
The earlier ones with the clips appear to be 55-56 trucks. There’s a few on eBay. Search for item# 174742192730.

Yes, probably end up painting the yellow one if I could find something similar to get a set of four. I really didn't figure that these old caps would be that hard to find or that pricey when found.

The white one looks a lot like the ones on my 56. I presume mine where painted to match the painted front bumper and grill. Yours is certainly in better shape than mine.
