To the best of my knowledge, the Dana 60 full floater hubs stick out further than the GM corporate 14 bolt full floater.

If you have the Dana 60, I would highly recommend measuring before you buy wheels just to discover the caps don't clear.

If you look at the pictures, I have both sets of these hub caps. I learned the hard way that the newer gold and black caps don't clear my Dana 60. I believe they started putting the GM corporate 14 bolt on trucks in the gold and black hub cap era.

So I had to spend considerably more for the period correct caps with the blue bow tie - I like them but they are harder to find and usually cost much more unless you get lucky and find a good bargain.

In my experience, the Dana 60 full floater is a challenge when it comes to fitting caps, whether they're factory hub caps or center caps that come with aftermarket wheels.
