Hubcap Question

Hello Guys. I was hoping somebody on here would happen to know what year these hubcaps are from. This is my Grandpa's 64'. In the catalogs I have seen the 64' hubcaps and they don't look like these. My grandpa was always original with his stuff. Just wondering if the hubcaps are I would like to track some down. This picture was taken in 88' right before he sold it. He had just bought a 79' Bonanza 3/4 ton with a 454. The picture is not great but the center is black with a gold bowtie. and the outer edges have black pinstripes.

Don't know what year, but the boat in the background is very nice.

Re: Hubcap Question

It’s hard to tell from the photo, but to me they look like Ford truck hubcaps like this one, claiming to fit a 65-73:

Re: Hubcap Question

Huh if they are ford hubcaps I wouldn't want them. That would be strange though as my grandpa was definately a Chevy And GM man. The boat in the background is a 1966 Chris Craft cabin cruiser 25ft it had a 283 sbc. My grandpa fully restored it. This pic was taken shortly before he sold it. It was in need of another restore.

Re: Hubcap Question

If you're looking for something that could be painted to look somewhat similar, these 1965 Chevy passenger car caps might do the trick:
