The bottle cap hub caps are being reproduced, I'm sure somebody will chime in and tell you who has the best price on them.

They will, my truck has them. I think I got them off ebay four years ago. When I swapped to disks in the front though they aren't fitting against the hub right though so I need to figure something out about that.

There are spider caps for the 5 on 5.5 lug pattern available now. It's obviously a more expensive solution but might be worth a look.

The ''Bottle Cap'' hub caps are available from LMC trucks for $29.95 each in polished stainless.
Just checked my latest catalog to be sure. Do you have the ''innie'' wheel centers or the
''outie'' centers? These were made for the ''innie'' centered Ford truck wheels. I am not
aware if any were made for an ''outie'' style wheel. Never have seen any made for ''outies''
in the ''Bottle Cap'' style. TR
