The hubcap you have is for the Free Wheeling Hub on axle FH-035. The knob seal 7014546 is 1 5/16 dia. So, it’s a small knob.

Just curious if you have ever had or tried this hubcap with the Spicer hub in place ? I don't have a 3/4 ton truck here at the moment with that hub. It will not work with a Warn hub . Thats been proven . I'm thinking that spacer needed to use the Spicer hub is going to push it further out than the hubcap can handle. I agree, the Spicer knob fits through the cap when just holding it up to the cap, but will it when everything is bolted together ? That's why we're looking for factory photos of this cap in use. Picture below

Sales brochures have no mention of any optional hubs, however the GMC silver book shows the Warn hubs as being available in '64. No mention of Spicer type in book. Found a photo of the Warn type, not sure if it's a '64 or '65 pickup. Again, it would have been more economically feasible to have just one large cut out hubcap for all applications, which is why I surprised the small hole cap even existed.
