I've found a excellent thread on this site for 60-66 hubcaps, but I haven't found anything for the 73-87 hubcaps.
Here's a general breakdown. 4x4's would have a hole in the front cap instead of the center bowtie section.

For reference 1/2 ton caps measure 10.5" diameter and 3/4 ton caps are 11.75"

1969-1972


1973-75 (these are 3/4 ton) Same as 69-72 but with Ochre colored bowtie


73-75 3/4 ton GMC


In 1976 they went to the next style, the flatter caps. Not 100% sure when they quit putting hubcaps on, perhaps all the way up till 89...


That's more or less it in terms of dog dish caps. There were a few different full wheel covers seen on later suburbans and trucks, as well as ralley wheel center caps... But as far as dog dishes go... that's it.
