steel wheels from the 80's?

are white steel factory wheels( on a 3/4 ton) like early 80's the same as the steel factory white wheels from 67-72 trucks?

reason i ask is, ihave a 72 that needs wheels, and i can get these for 60$ for all 4 wheels.


i know lug pattern etc is fine, but will the hub/center caps from 67-72 fit on these wheels?
it has some 70's-80's gmc caps on it that are fairly decent size.

Pretty certain the steelies are the same all the way up to 1988 at least. 3/4 ton caps from our trucks should fit any of those wheels.

Up to 1987 should work just fine with any 12" hubcap.

Actually, 8 lug rims from a 2013 2500 will fit our trucks. It's pretty cool that they never changed the lug spacing or hub diameter. If I had the money, I'd love to put a set of brand new OEM aluminum rims on my green '70. I think it would look pretty cool.
