Dust caps

I've had to once again tear down my 1978 super cab F250. I was kicking myself last year for not having the c6 rebuilt when I had the motor done. But I had to have the top half of the motor rebuilt again because I didn't know I had to use zinc additive in my motor oil and the thumper cam ate itself up. But I did a complete front to back everything new brake job while waiting on the motor and trans. I can't get these damn dust caps on the front rotors to save my life. The old ones won't even go on. I've changed a lot of rotors in my day and have never had this issue. The caps autozone sells (help brand) just seem to be too big. Does anybody know where to find the correct ones? If these somehow are the correct ones any tricks to it? I have destroyed a few of the trying to get them on and I definitely can't drive the truck until I figure this out....
