Wow the trucks look great. Working on getting a 67 3/4 ton 2wd cab over camper, 60k original miles. 327 4bbl with 4spd, with original chrome hubcaps. Gonna pull the camper and rebuild over next couple years. Gonna put a retro fast and furious flat deck truck together, picked up 3 sets of factory steel wheels over the past few weeks. 16"x7", 16"x8", and 16"x10". Will post some pics once

That will look tough. The '70 Stepside pro-street truck I built in the early-90s had that look. It was 514 red with red wheels and chrome '70 Chevy hubcaps. Everything about the exterior was stock, except wheel and tire width.

Re: Trucks with wide rear steelies and dog dish caps ! Lets see e'm
Don't have a photo handy, but my 1970 GMC 3500 has factory 16.5 inch 8 lug wheels - 10"w on the front and 12"w on the rear. Am thinking of going to 16" wheels due to tire availability - and hoping to go same width on all four. Any suggestions?

Steelies and dog dish caps....im in
I had to go to a wider trim ring, but these are what I was running originally. They were just too loose, so ended up with whats on the truck. 73 steelies to clear the disk brakes and 61-63 deluxe caps

I haven't painted them yet. I actually been thinking about getting vinyl stickers made before I try paint.

That is what I am going to do also. I bought extra of the vinyl that I am going to wrap the truck with and I will use it to do the rings and the bowtie once I get mine back from the chrome shop.

Re: Trucks with wide rear steelies and dog dish caps ! Lets see e'm
Hmmm, FYI, your gold '68 c20 has later model rims (post # 56). 16.5" bump wheels introduced for the '69 model year, 1968 16.5" wheels ( hard to find) came with clips and accept original hubcap styling ( see blue '68 below).
