Re: 67 Custom Camper Wheels

Great post by 60-66. Anybody with a pre '69 pickup should study those photos before purchasing any hubcap. They all have the same styling and look the same from the front, but there are 3 different back sides. Watch out for wheels also, they often the most changed out item on any old pickup. The first photo is the period correct 16" wheel, the second photo is a '71 and newer disc brake wheel. Both will accept the original PO3 hubcap (chromed version of the painted hubcap on far left side above). Hard to time date the lock ring wheel, IMO, it is overkill for a 1/2 ton pickup anyways. The Custom Camper option between '67-'72 is basically a beefed up suspension option, a pale comparsion to the original '65-'66 custom campers, which had several comfort and appearance items included in the package. With the series 10 C.C. option, I believe the 7.00-15 was the tube type tire on 3 piece heavy duty lock rim wheels, the 6.50-16 and 8-16.5 were tubeless tires on 1 piece rims.
