71' c10 hubcap options

[Southern Shaker]

my grandpa an i both have 71' c10 his is all original as mine is ...trying to be but anyway he has a set of the full hubcaps not sure the code for them and we got to talking but our main question is Were there other styles of the 1/2 ton hubcaps for our trucks ?

RPO PO1 = full wheel covers (upper center 1/2 ton only)
PRO PO3 = chrome hub caps (lower left 1/2 ton / upper left 3/4 ton)
Standard = white hubcaps (lower right 1/2 ton / upper right 3/4 ton)
Lower center is a silver finish, not familiar with what that came on.

All should have blue bowties. Similar stuff available in stainless from 73-75 with yellow bowties, many folks buy those (easier to find/polish out) and redo them to look like 69-72 caps/wheel covers).

Thanks jocko! are the lower left ones hard to find ? what would they be worth if i do come across some ? my grandpa has a set of 71' covers that came original on his truck and 2 other 67-72 full hubcaps like them he's trying to make a second set

There are hubcaps and there are wheel covers. Hubcaps cover the hub and wheel covers cover the wheel. There are no wheel covers less than "full" and no hubcaps that cover more than the hub. It's common for them all to fall under one name,hubcap,and I guess they all do cover that. Now that you are fully educated ,they are all hard to find in excellent condition and when you do find them,expect to pay $100 or more for a set. They can be dented just from removing/installing or any stick or rick that flies up from the road. So,really nice ones are worth the money,I think. The wheel covers shown are 69-72. 73-75s look the same but have yellow bowties and ring in the center piece. The 67/68s are the same wheel cover minus the center piece and the center area is painted.
