Pretty sure the custom deluxe came with the full chrome cap, and the others came with the center "dog dish" hub caps?

Stock hub caps for the Custom Deluxe were the white hub caps with the blue bow tie and black trimmings as depicted below. An upgrade that many ordered were the chrome version of the same cap, RPO PO3. If it is a highlander package truck (YG6,7,8) the half ton would also possibly come with PA1 Full Wheel Covers - ala Monte Carlo as mentioned above. If it has highlander "plaid" trim code, but no YG6,7,8 RPO on the SPID, then it could have any cap type, stock or optional. Full Wheel Covers, PO1 were also available as options. [*]What's the stock tire size that would have came from factory?
Stock wheel size is 15x6, with 15x5 optional. Rallies not an option, those were from the square body years and look great on our trucks, but, like you, I prefer white steelies. Sorry don't know the offset of the wheels. Stock tire size is G17-15 which equates to 215-75-15 (H78-15 optional and that would be a 225-75-15 today). I'd make sure to buy 71+ Gm steelies - it's an issue with 6 lugs anyway (pre-71 didn't clear calipers, whereas post70 did) - but I'm not sure if this rule applies to earlier car 5 lug steelies as compared to 71+ 5 lug steelies (anyone know? Never thought about this before!)

It came factory with the 350, disc brakes, 5-lug and springs all around if that makes any difference for the questions I'm asking.
All standard equipment except the 350, so you should see the 350 called out on the SPID.

Check the parts board, and place a WTB ad if you need something specific, folks here are great at coming up with parts - the steelies should be an easy find off one of the part outs - preferably close to your home so you can grab them rather than ship. 5 lugs are pretty common.
Hope that helps! Congrats on the new truck, looks real nice, looking forward to more pics and the SPID! If it's got parchment door panels, there's good chance it's a highlander. If not, no biggee, just a great ol truck. Exact same paint as my first 72, so am partial... Ha.
