As you know, these wheels were special order till they became a factory option around '67. A good test fit for a small hole '62-'63 3/4 4x4 cap, if of course, these unaltered original 3/4t 4x4's with original Spicer lock out hubs and original wheels still exist.

I guess this is why I still feel the combo wont work but I have some ideas on mocking it up. These are the factory ordered 16.5 wheels on my old 66. I know the 62-63 hubcap is taller but ? By how much . I cut these caps to put on this truck but the truck is gone now. Also , the parts book specifically says 17.5 and 19.5 wheels, makes me think the center of the wheel is taller than a 16.5. .
