1968 C20 wheel / hubcap question

[littlehopper]

I’m trying to figure out what rims my truck came with as I’d like to replace the current HD2500 forged wheels. My SPID calls out PO3 chromed caps and S89 16.5 x 8.25 spare.
1- Is it safe to assume the other 4 rims would be same as spare?
2- Would the rim have been clincher or split?
3- Would caps be clip type or nub?

Thanks in advance, Joe

I’m not an expert, but I believe in 68 the caps were clip type. Can’t help you with the rest, sorry.

My 68 C-20 CST has chrome hubcaps on SPID and the number is 4P03CA



Here is a picture of the wheel, you can see where the caps clip on.




Hope that helps.

Here is another thread showing a C 20 with 16.5 clip wheels. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=1968+c+20 and some more interesting reading.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ight=1968+c+20

Yes, those are the caps that were with my truck when advertised. However, when I flew to Michigan to get truck I was on a high and forgot about them until 3 hours into our return trip to NJ. I called the guy and he said he would ship them, never did. Words cannot express how pissed I still am at myself 3 years later for not going back to get them.

I see you have 16” wheels, would 16.5” also use same caps?
