The original 68 'dog dish' caps that came on my beater popped right on my 73-78 stock steel chevy truck 5x5's when I did my disc brake swap. I had 5 lugs up front & 6 lugs out back, all w/the dog dish caps. I later swapped to later model taxi/cop car dog dish caps. They look very similar to the truck versions & you can (could) get them new from GM.
