The current plan is some rallys or chrome, but this is what was originally on my truck. The guy has one:

If you don't find three more I could use one..

Good luck, those are hard to find in NOS or even nice used condition. VERY prone to splits on the edges, and matter of fact, looks like that one has a split already.

As Eric stated these are very hard to find in any condition. They were made of brass and then chromed, the metal is thin and weak. The pictured cap above already has a split as pointed out. I lucked out and found a set that was taken off in 72 when the truck was brought home from the dealer.

Nice score!..........Beings they split, I don't suppose I should use them. I have three in the garage. One is fair, the others pretty thrashed.
