No, they are Chevrolet. They were actually an option on the 1968. 4P01AA full wheel covers.

1967 stepper with original 15" x 6" steel wheels and 235/75R15 tires. The only modification is new springs with a 2" drop in the front and 4" drop in the back from ECE.
I have a set of 15x8 and 15x7 wheels on order from wheel vintiques, which will go on with slightly larger tires when they arrive. If anyone wants the tire/wheel combo pictured, PM me. The tires have less than 100 miles on them.
Hubcaps are Chevy Camaro/Nova, which are readily available, look pretty good, and snap right into place on the factory 15" wheels.

Looked for a long time to find this old gal. As you know, step sides are pretty tough to locate.... particularly '67 steppers.
Purchased from 2nd owner. Original 283, 4 speed, 3.73 diff. Bed wood original and needs to be replaced. SPID in place and matches plate on door pillar. Says V8 4 speed deluxe instrument panel and thats about it.

Truck was 2" higher on passenger side than drivers side, both front and back, when I got it. I installed ECE 2" and 4" drop spings thinking that would correct the ride height all the way around. It was better, but needed some attention to the frame. Frame was bent from an accident, and probably driven like that for 30 years. Local shop here with a couple of old guys (my age-66) fortunately had years of experience with these old trucks, and straightened the frame pretty good. Now sits about 1/2" higher on the passenger side, front and back, which is OK by me.

Interior is 100% stock original, even the 501 medium blue paint, and looks very good. Truck runs and drives pretty much like new. No rattles or squeaks. Goes 70 MPH straight down the road. Came from New Mexico, so rust is minimal. Exterior paint is obviously not original. Everything works... even the back up lights.

Because of my health, I hope to put power steering and brakes on it eventually. It can be a challenge to maneuver in a parking lot.

I was an honest mechanic, but I can't do the work because I'm old like you. Actually, it's mostly because of carpal tunnel release surgery last year that my hands ain't coming back to full strength as quickly as I would like. I got a new radiator and my son is going to have to put it in. Can't go camping unless my son puts the hitch on- I can't pick it up, yet.
