I believe Joe has the later 7 x 16 Ford wheels that have out nubs for hub caps like any normal wheels should. But,Ford's not normal and back when the 16.5s were used it's possible they are the inner nub type that only accept Ford hub caps. Look for the outer nubs. If it has those they are fine. If they are the 9.75 wide wheels chances are they may have gotten the outer nub type. Just check to be sure. Here's what you want shown on stock GM 16s and wide 9.75 x 16.5s:
