I on the other hand would say the chrome hupcaps are normal on all early 2WD
vans until about 84, where they can have either chrome caps, or what I call
the 'silver dome' hubcaps.............. with exceptions.

the 82 diesel, perhaps depending on L or GL trim, had either chrome hupcaps
or plastic ones that 'look' sort of like wire spoke wheels, sort of.  Those
I don't like, as they are trying to look like something they are not.

 I think the chrome caps are cool, I wish they'd fit on my south african
steel 15 inch wheels , for that "15 inch black painted steel wheel cop car"
look.
