The flange on your cap is different from original style caps. Guessing the caps you have to fit a more modern wheel setup.

You can buy clips that bolt/rivet to the wheel and allow the cap to attach to the hub. Look it over carefully as all hubs with clips won't work on all applications. Good luck
BTW Chevy Duty sell them for $1.75 each. Buy two dozen and the cost mounts up.

They don't look like my Baby Moons. Mine have a curled lip which fit over the bumps on my wheel. I am talking car here not truck.

I sure thank everyone for the replies. I think I will keep the caps and try the clips. The caps look good on the original rims maybe I can weld the clips in place. Thanks again.

CFG61,
What you have are baby moon STYLE caps, but they are made for modern wheels where the caps fit inside the raised area around where the lug nuts are, kind of like the way the center cap on rally wheels fits. I have the same ones on my new chrome reverse wheels.

this is what my baby moon style caps snap onto:
one of my wheels, up close, cap off

3 of my wheels have the 4 bumps, 2 of them only have 3.

I've been told the 4 bump wheels are older than my truck and the 3 bump wheels came on my '65. Yet another part of my truck is different! ha!

These pics aren't to good but maybe you can see I have the 3 bumps on these 61's. But the cap is to small to fit in the center of the wheel close to the lugs. The cap is only 7&5/8" in dia. But if I could snap them in with new clips they would look good. I found the clips on the net. :confused: ohwell

Ummm.... you're thinking too hard....

You have the baby moon caps for something like the Stockton wheel aftermarket wheels, like I have on my Model A. These caps will only fit aftermarket wheels.

My '57 has stock Chevy steel wheels from a '69 or so truck, but they look like your wheels. I used dog dish caps that fit the three 'nubs' in the center of the wheel. Take a measurement, I can't remember what mine is, and check out eBay, or Mooneyes, they will have a simple baby moon that pops on your existing wheel.
