73 C10 Factory Hubcap Options

[samblnc]

Can anyone point me to a reference guide or have any information to share on what factory hubcap options word for 1973 C10? These are mine, but I’m wondering if these were the highest option that year, and when the steelies with small center cap and beauty ring came out. Thanks.

The RPO N67 Rally wheel was introduced in 1975.

Thanks I’m trying to keep it mostly stock to the year.

Just an idea. Check hubcaps.com They usually show what caps were used for different years. I'm probably going to have to use them for some "new" used caps for my 84 C2500

I'm pretty sure what you have counts as the highest/fanciest option. I've only ever seen those, steel wheels with a polished small cap and trim ring or a steel wheel with a painted cap and no trim ring

That brochure shows the "dog dish" style, but no trim rings on the white wheels. That must've come in later....

I think, looking at the GMC brochures I have, that the old style full wheelcovers were used through '76. Around then, too, is when they went from the all white or stainless dog dish, to the ones with the 5 or 6 black panels that are stainless steel....

Good to know. I thought about upgrading to the later RPO N67 mentioned by Keith but will likely stick to factory offering for my year. Maybe on a slightly wider wheel for nicer stance.
