Re: 69-72 PO3 Hub Caps - were these ever really chrome?
Several years ago I made a set of templates or dies for painting these caps. They came out looking factory perfect. It was a fair amount of careful work making the molds, but required no taping and super quick to paint once done.

I had a gmc cap just like that, I posted it years ago, and I took the same type of comparison photo. Someone (don’t recall who it was) said it was from a van or delivery vehicle??

That had crossed my mind, and makes perfect sense considering those may have had a different drivetrain.
