Kinda figured that. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
I may look for some others. I'm a sucker for the dog dish caps.

I'll play, my 67's got later model 4x4 rallyes. Now i don't have a 4x4 obviously so i don't want the 4x4 style caps. Is there a way to put car center caps( i have a set of 66 impala caps that i would love to have on the truck but i am not sure if there is a way to get these caps on these steels? Or is there a style 6 lug rim that i can mount these caps too? my buddy has 16.5 6 lugs off a 3/4 ton but they are too skinny for me. I thought i saw another style 6 lug in one of these pictures but not sure. Anybody got any thoughts?

Just buy different emblems for the centers...car caps are 5 lug. Your buddy's "3/4 ton 6 lugs" are not 3/4 ton. 3/4 and 1 tons have 8 lug.

I don't see why 67-68 FULL wheel covers will not fit

well they arent off a 3/4 ton they are just heavy duty wheels i dont know why i said that. Those rims and other 6 lugs have the little lumps for mounting center caps. My wheels have three screws that mount the caps. What are the ones with the lumps called?

These are the original split rims.
I think you call it "rode hard and put up wet"

These tires are likely the second or third set. The truck has about 150K miles.

Nice old Jimmy there .

Definitely put up wet but also clearly not rode hard ~ the Farm trucks we had back when this Jimmy was new , were mangled .
