Anybody have pics of what caps would have been stock on a '68 C20 Custom Camper? I have a mismatched set on there now and want to put the correct ones on.
Thanks

They look just like the C/10 caps except they mount completely differently. These are the last of the old-style inner clip mounts, so you need the right wheels to mount them as well.

Yes they would have been a different type mount, not like the 3 nub caps but a clip style.

They would have been either painted of chromed like those in the photos.

Nice to see the appreciation for history growing on this site. Lets face it, later model caps just don't do these trucks justice! The cap you need must have a 8 3/4" back side opening to fit period 8 lug wheels with clips. Here is member Layne's beautiful '68 3/4 ton with the solid one piece 16.5" wheels ( clip type period correct ), previous photos in posts show the 2 piece 16" wheels.
