Re: Correct GMC vs. Chevy Truck Wheels, 1960-66
The Aqua colored wheel is what most people would call a 55-59 wheel, but I have seen them on 1960 Apaches too. The Black wheel is the same as used on a 57-59 and is a re-shaped version of the one on the right, to accommodate the optional fluted deluxe model wheel trim rings commonly seen on Cameos. All the 1960-61 GMC's I ever saw had the 3 clip wheel pictured here instead of these Cameo type wheels, but anything could be correct depending on assembly plant.
