Can anyone tell me if this is a stock whell for a 1955 first series chevy 3600? I am looking into purchasing this truck and it struck me as unusual. I also have never noticed what the wheel looks like without the hubcap. In addition, what hubcap would be standard wit this wheel? Thank You
In addition, the wheels have the nubs for hub caps instead of the clips, so they are later wheels. I don’t know when this was changed, but maybe another ‘bolter can chime in.

Hy qside, welcome, those wheels are 16.5" tubeless tire wheels from the 70s and newer. Your proposed purchase could have come with a couple of different wheel options, one of which was 15" eight bolt split rims. Do some research on the options and then look around for availability, good luck.
