Yeah I had heard about using the screws from the backside but I wsn't sure how well they would stay on the wheel. I had aslo considered getting the OEM style lugnuts for the US thread studs and using the plastic retaining nuts, but I'm not sure if I would like the looks of those nuts on there. I guess I'll play around and see what I like best. Thanks for the replies.

Just used sheet metal screws from the backside of the wheel into the cap. Keep in mind this was on a 5 lug rally and caps so not sure if the 6 lug is the same but my guess is they are.
Another option, which is what I am going to do on the '68, I got the external threaded lug nuts with the 1/2" stud threads and then I can use the factory GM "lug caps" that hold the caps on externally, just like my '98 Silverado.
Hope that helps.

I also have a set of '02 (I believe) 6-lug caps that would have to use the external thread nuts. Haven't played around with them yet.
