Are these C10 hub caps or.....????
I'm new to these C10's. Have always loved the look of them and finally got a '67 LWB 250 3spd. I think my wheels are the stock steelies but not positive. But what I'm really wondering about is the hub caps. Whatever they are I like them... just curious.

I don't know much, but I don't think those are original to C10's.

Those hubcaps are 1971/72 Malibu/Chevelle/El Camino factory hubcaps.
I like em too and have three so waiting for swap season to come around so I can make a set. |

I think they're called Baby Moons.

The wheels, yes, steelies were original - just not the baby moons.

The baby moon hubcaps are popular. You shouldn't have any trouble finding them.

We always called plain custom caps like this baby moons,even though GM used the same type (first) with embossed logo. The early GM truck caps only work on the original clip-type wheels. Nova,Chevelle,Malibu,and El Camino used these in 71/72. Pontiac had a version at that time,too
