Most reference 3 vs 4 nub as an easy way to ID the older vs newer 6 lug wheels as davischev pointed out correctly.
rharris, if you need to clear disks, you need a 71 or newer k5 or k10 wheel if you want the wide stock steelie look. Yes, getting hard to find. If no disks, any 6 lug will clear all drums, but 8" might not be an option in the older wheels.

Thank you. All the info is great. I was close to purchasing an 8" off a 1968 - sounds like they wont work. The truck is a 1971 6 lug with disc brakes all around (aftermarket rear of course).
