Mid 80's GM trucks and vans. The caps actually screw on to the wheel directly. Not all that hard to find.

On a side note even the factory caps will have the 4x4 emblems on the caps...these are for 4x4 trucks from 73-87...well two of the factory caps are open ended for access to the front hubs on the 4x4's. |

Re: Centercaps for these wheels?
For something different, will the Astro center caps from the Nineties fit? They are kinda hard to see, but check 'em out.

Re: Centercaps for these wheels?
68gmsee, you're correct. Now that I have checked it out about 12 times I think it is a square knot. Just wanted to be sure, ya know?!!

....could it be a Granny Knot? You DO know the difference between them, right? Yeah, I mean the difference between the knots, not what's different between "them"....
