B. 1961/66 F250 10 1/4" Stainless or Painted Argent w/two sets of FORD block letters top & bottom with slash thru center. FORD letters are Stainless on Black background, or painted Argent on Black background. (Identical to 1961/64 Galaxie).
C. 1965/66 F350 10 3/8" Same style as A except White w/Red letters only.
D. 1965/66 F100 Optional 15" Full Wheel Cover Identical to 1965 Galaxie. Red or Black plastic center, Stainless w/Black highlights or Stainless/Argent with Black highlights.
Note: There are no hub caps or wheel covers listed for 1961/64 F350's.
In addition, Ford dealers could add whatever the customer wished, as long as the wheel covers were 15"

Bill, my apologies to your expertise and parts books but my '65 F250 came stock with white painted caps with red FORD lettering. Not double with a line between. The 3/4 ton caps are also thicker than the 1/2 ton to clear the heavier duty rear hubs. Steve

Bill; thanks for the break down; as you stated dealer options can vary from store to store. I assume the word (Scallops) is the ones we call the old coke bottle cap style.
Also what does argent mean; is that a color like sliver?
I also didn't know 65 Galaxie are the same as F100's full cover.

The entire cap resembles the one worn on the head of "Speedy" the Pepsi kid.
Argent is silver. 1965/66 Galaxies had about 7 different full wheel covers. However, 4 of them were nearly identical except for: Two had Black plastic centers, two had Red plastic centers. The cone around the plastic center was either bright or painted...uh...argent.
1966/77 Bronco's also offered the Red bright version as an accessory. The front's had a special insert to allow the front hubs to protrude.

I must have B-2 since mine (1965 F100) are 10 1/4, white with the two sections painted red that surround the FORD name, and the slash through the middle.

Thier only offering one; I would like to find all four in chrome; Oh I forgot; that would require some unexpected/ unavaiable cash exchange. LOL

Dealers threw away 1000's of those dog dish hubcaps...Oh Hindsight!
I do have a spare 15" with black center, if anyone wants it..just pay the shipping.
Also have the later "mag style" 15" covers, in my horde pile.
