Wheel question

My truck came with the wrong wheels on it. I have outie nubs for the hub caps. Presumably from a newer truck. I wanted to use dog dish caps but can’t find any for outies.
What are you all using for hub caps on wheels with outies?

How many would you like?
No F100 came with outie wheels until 1965 and in 1965/66 both innies and outies were available.

After 1966, only outies were available for F100's. A popular swap is the stainless outie hub caps found on 1955/56 and 1957/59 Ford Passenger Cars.

Some 1960's Galaxie hub caps were also used on 1965/72 F100's. 1973 and later used specific to F100 (or F150) hub caps, so there's a gazillion hub caps to choose from.

I saw some 58 Ford passenger car hubcaps on an old F-1 last year. I thought they looked pretty good.

I also have later-model F150 "outie" wheels and just watched eBay for some early Ford hubcaps. These turned up, a set of 5, for a '52-'53 sedan. I always intended to get trim rings but have resisted so far.

Thanks Ross & John. I knew there had to be answers for outies.
