1962 C-10 hub cap ID

[sodly]

Can anyone ID the wheel covers on this 1962 C10? As I understand it, full wheel covers were not a factory option in '62 and I'm trying to figure out where these may have come from.

Also, does anyone sell the correct, repro '62 dog dish (in chrome/stainless)? Are they made? If not, any ideas where a guy could find a set of NOS ones? Ebay, right? Just how hard to find/expensive would they be?

Finally, can anyone give me any clues to help determine if the wheels lurking behind these wheel covers are the original ones? Size? Hub cap tab shape (innie? outie?)? Can anyone post pics of correct factory wheels and dog dish caps for a '62 Custom? And would a custom cab automatically have body-colored wheels w/ stainless hub caps?

Thanks!

1961-63 C10 came 10 1/8 ID they are the same dimensions of the 16" wheel cap except the ID changes to 7 5/8".

16"- 7 5/8" ID. wheel cap in the forefront and I believe a 17.5"- 3/4 ton 8 7/8 ID. wheel cap in the background. The 8 7/8 ID does not fit on my 17.5"- 1/2 ton 6 bolt wheels.




GM part #3781675
I did take some NOS painted one's and had them Chromed for my trailer and spare wheels that I'll mount in the box of the truck. Cheating but hey, where's the hubcap cop!






If the rule applies in 62 as it did in 63 the wheels would be Black on any truck that's not two tone. Two tone had the main body color applied to the wheels. Chome caps were part of the Chrome package.

those are jc whitney/ebay tri bar hubcaps on the truck. the waffling behind the tri bar is a dead giveaway.

not original to anything, made to look like 50s oldsmobile hubcaps I think.

Very cool, aerotruck. How do you find this stuff?

Thanks for the help, joedoh. What kind of a date range would you put on these wheel covers? Are they even old?
