Tried to show this picture but the server was to busy BS,so no edit an attachment after 1/2hr. Here's picture of a Bonafide '69 C/20 hubcaps. We've seen argent '69 GMC 1500 & 2500/3500 caps as well as '69 Chevy C10 & C20/30 hubcaps in this thread

1968 and 1969 GMC wheels and base model hubcaps were painted argent silver.1968 and 1969 GMC hubcaps are different styles, so the 1969 argent silver painted hubcaps is a one year deal. Its possible some early 1970 GMC's (built in 1969) still used the argent silver wheels before the switch to white. 1968 and 1969 Chevy wheels and base model hubcaps were also painted argent silver. Agian, 1968 and 1969 are different styles, so the 1969 argent silver Chevy hubcap is a one year deal also. At some point mid year 1969, Chevy started painting there wheels white, but kept the argent silver hubcap. When new 1970 models were available (late '69) base model hubcaps were white to match the white wheels. Here is a photo of a 1969 Chevy pickup with argent silver wheels and hubcaps.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Post-Card-Bl...item4cf53beb81

In special k's photo of the wall of hubcaps (thanks for posting neat photo), post #12, note the peculiar argent silver GMC hubcap (top left). This is the flat nose early '69 style 12" hubcap ( which Joesjunk mentioned in his post )that would only fit the front axle on GMC's. The more common deeper 12" hubcap was needed for the rear axle. Chevy used the same flat nose 12" hubcap in early '69 till replaced with the deeper version. IMO, this must have been an engineering dept. mistake by GM, they forgot about the larger spicer 60 axle option on CHevy C 20's when the new '69 hubcap style hubcap came out with the new bump type wheels. Another note, wheel colors were different for 1 tons and 4WD's for '68 and '69, most cases they were black.
