The 57-60 pickup hubcaps are called bottle caps. If those are the ones of which you speak, you need wheels with the retaining bumps inside

Here is a picture of the 1957-1960 Ford F100 hubcaps that you call "bottle caps".
I have never heard of them being call that, however, I can see what you mean, as they do look like large bottle caps.

If the 1957-1960 Ford F100 hubcaps are called "bottle caps", what are these off the 1961 Ford F100? They have extra "grip" marks around the edge.
I believe that these were used on 1961 - 1966 Ford F100, but looking at original factory pictures, it seems that some F100's from 1964 to 1966 were available with the regular Ford 'dog-dish" hubcap, the one with a bar through the centre?
Maybe buyers had a choice in these years?

Sorry, I didn't mean for the 57-60 comment to be all inclusive. It's just that I've owned a few 57-60 models and never had any interest in the 61-66 styling so I don't know much about them in specific detail.
