New owner - need wheel trim ring

Hey folks, I'm new around these parts, and I am a fairly new truck owner. I bought this beauty in July 2012.

It's a 1976 C10 Scottsdale.

I bought it from the original owner, who used it a lot (192,000 miles) and did some restoration work on it ~10-20 years ago (all 4 fenders, motor, paint). I'm getting ready for some paint work on the inside (door panels) and out (tailgate), as well as replacing random worn out parts like door hinge pins, and window weather stripping. Otherwise the previous owner took excellent care of it.

My question for you folks - what style of wheel do I have, and what are the chances I'll be able to buy ONE trim ring to replace the one that's missing? I really don't want to buy a set of 4.

Thanks in advance. I look forward to showing you before and after photos of the work.

You can try looking on ebay for a trim ring. Just search "chevy rally" and you should find one, just pay attention to the photos and make sure it's shaped the same.

And that's what I want my truck to look like!!!

Scared the crap out of Me, I spent 31 years working on " Omaha Orange " equipment, for the Montana D.O.T. I bet I know about every nut and bolt on and in them rigs, but, only the "orange" ones.
Welcome into the forum and, I like Your new pickumup truck.

So you think those are rally wheels? LMC truck has different trim rings for rally and non-rally wheels. I can get a single rally trim ring, but only a set of 4 for the non-rally (standard?) wheels.

Yeah, those are commonly known as Chevy Truck Rallies. I'd offer you a trim ring, but my couple extras are banged up. I'm not sure about LMC's listing, But I personally would look for a good used one, it's hard to beat the fit and quality of an original GM part.

These look like the right ones as far as I can tell. Might want to contact the sellers and ask width.

This one seems a bit pricey IMHO

I found those with just some quick looking around.
