WTB 61-63 Chevrolet / GMC 1/2 ton 4x4 hub caps

Looking for a pair of open center 1/2 ton 4x4 hub caps. I missed out on these on eBay awhile back.

You probably will have to make some, I missed that set on Ebay and have never seen a pair.

Would you be willing to machine a set to work for your application or do you absolutely want originals? I have 10 of these Canadian GMC caps that could be machined to fit.
Their 10 3/16 presently for nub wheels but could easily be converted to 7 5/8 for clip style.

It would seem an easy task to modify a Canadian GMC cap, and not too much more difficult to do the same to a more common Chevy cap. Yes, the raised center bowtie presents some work in the way of flattening/shrinking/welding, but it's also do-able IMO.

I am all for whatever works. What would I need to do, use a donor cap to take the clip center out of?

I also have a donor , rusted out cap for an inner ring.
You might consider machining the hub center hole a a little bigger that would eliminate any bodywork. The Krogh gave me the measurements of an NOS opening and you would really need to have a vernier to tell the difference.
