Re: 69-72 PO3 Hub Caps - were these ever really chrome?
My experience with old cars and trucks, and in this case hubcaps has taught me to never say "they never made.....(insert phrase here)". Buying, swapping and selling I have seen about every combination above, and had most combinations mentioned, chrome over brass, chrome over steel and chrome over stainless, in both blue and gold bowties. But, here is an oddity, and feel free to jump in if you have ever seen one like the center cap in the photo, and what the application would be. At first glance (to me) it looked like a typical C10 cap, at least the center stamping, but looking closer it is a 12 inch diameter cap, but shallow - same depth of a 1/2 ton cap. Stainless and very much appears to have factory paint). I have placed it between a K20 and a C10 for reference in the photo. Obviously it would never work on a 3/4 ton rear axle nor a "normal" 1/2 ton wheel. I know it is difficult to tell detail and this site does not lend itself to zooming in. Ideas?

I had a gmc cap just like that, I posted it years ago, and I took the same type of comparison photo. Someone (don’t recall who it was) said it was from a van or delivery vehicle??

That had crossed my mind, and makes perfect sense considering those may have had a different drivetrain.
