Has anyone ever seen 57-60 hubcaps like these. Are they big truck caps?

They look more like 1/2 ton hub caps from the mid-60s.....but I was only a kid then, so my memory may be faulty.

Look at this truck in the gallery:

I saw this last night on e-bay and the hubcaps are NOT from the 50s, they remind me of painted 3/4 hubcaps from the 70s. "I know for sure that they are misrepresented"

There is a guy here in town that has an original 1977 stepside(I think, you know the boxy style Chevy) with these style caps on it.

Not really that familiar with the truck caps in later years but what threw me was the raised areas on the outer edge of these caps. They look identical to the 57-60 caps except no small bowties. The non-cone shaped centers with the bowtie made me wonder if the caps might have been from a much bigger truck. The one inch or so vertical edge at the rim of the cap made me wonder also. Definitely not described correctly.
Thanks for the observations and comments.

I had those on my 71 GMC Sierra Grande only in Chrome, they painted ones came on the cheaper model.
