Nope... You can get those hub caps anywhere. They are the China ones you get now a days.

The hubcaps you're showing are 49-50 Chevy and those mount on "clip" wheels, not "bump" wheels. Chevy cars ran clip wheels until 1953, and trucks until about 1960-62? I don't know for sure that passenger caps will fit on a truck wheel, but if they do you'll need wheels that look like the ones that came on my 1960 GMC:

You can also buy new rally caps that look just like 49 Chevy caps, but they require the newer wheels.

Those hubcaps will only fit the early steel wheels. The wheels have clips that are riveted to them that hold the caps on.

Edit-Mark beats me to it with pics even! Showoff.

you ould probably fab up some sort of mount, there was a thread on the 47-59 board, where a guy mounted the clip style cap to a 20 inch smoothie billet wheel.
