I don't see a '66 Hemi Belvedere in Leno's collection, only a '66 Hemi Coronet 500. Dodge caps will be different than Plymouth. There were two size caps used on Plymouths in '66, A bodies had 9" caps, everything else had 10". The B body caps are shown in Scotts pic. Here is an A body cap. The bad thing about the 10" caps is they only fit '67 and earlier 4.5" bolt pattern wheels and if you want a 15" wheel, they are almost impossible to find. The '66 A body cap will fit all 4" bolt pattern and all '68 and up 4.5" bolt pattern wheels, even the 15x7" and 15x8".

I don't see any caps in the Nicks Garage link, only full wheel covers.
I haven't gotten around to putting my dog dish page put together.
Here is the '66 Belvedere cap. Note the gray painted inserts. '65 used black.
Here is the '66 Coronet style.
And from a period show on TCM...

They're also used on '67 Barracudas and Valiants.

ok, next question....are they wheel specific? Will they fit either 14's or 15's? I have 15's on my 71 Plymouth and the wheels are different. It seems that it would take two different sizes. One of my wheels is like 8 inches across where the dog dish would go and the others are like 10 or so.
Yes, the wheels are different. The earlier ones used larger caps. A-bodies started the trend toward the smaller ones and the rest of the cars followed. There aren't many choices for early 15" ones, mostly narrow widths. They came on early c-bodies with disc brakes and I find them on early A100 vans. Also came on some 1/2 ton pickups. Problem is most early trucks and vans don't have their original wheels anymore because people changed them to later ones or mags.
There is even a 16" version of the early wheel but they are very hard to find. I have them on my teardrop trailer. Took me 4 years to find a pair.
