Re: 1970 highboy hubcap
The only thing I have seen is one of the brochures has a picture on the cover and the fronts didn't have hubcap on the F250. Sorry can't remember which year, I think 68. Not to say that a guy couldn't cut a hole in one and put it on, that's what I've done in the past.

Ran them on a crew cab I had. I liked it. They really look good with the camper special wheels all around.

Re: 1970 highboy hubcap
When I bought my 72 f250 4x4 it had 16 inch sttels on it as well. the truck also had the dog dish hubcaps on it. somebody had cut the centers out of the two front ones so they would clear the hub. looked pretty good but if the centers arent cut big enought the front hubcaps are a real PITA to get off the wheel.

Re: 1970 highboy hubcap
My 72 Highboy, just like all others had no hubcaps. I bought a set of the stainless steel ones of E-Bay and modified two to fit the front, I used a hole saw the same size as the black center section with the crown looking logo and cut it out, I then uses a small air grinder to smooth the edges. Below are a few pictures, the truck was in early restoration stage, but you can see the hubcaps.
I am of an age now that most of life's lessons were learned the hard way;
Life is hard, but it’s harder when you’re stupid.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction.
Never ask how stupid someone is 'cause they'll turn around and show you.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
If you had the choice “Looks or Brains” take the Brains, Looks will get you thru the first half, but Brains will last a lifetime.
