At this point in time not many recall that the painted caps went beyond the introduction of the newer style polished aluminum caps that ended up being the last truck hubcap GM offered, another long running tradition cast away. along with that came the last of the brand stamped tailgate as well. That was a long run for the aluminum caps, '76 - '91 R/V models. Sixteen years. Spring & Summer '76 I worked on a framing crew. I remember the new style hubcaps coming out that year because my boss owned a brand new Silverado/20 and I thought they were a sharp looking cap
