 I do not believe that the '68 through '70 will fit.  They are a larger
 diameter than '71 and later.  I have these hubcaps on the Syncro.  I could
 get a set of four for a bit more than half the price of one of the full wheel
 covers that were original.  Plus I plan on putting wheel rings on there too.

i was referring to the beetle, etc, '68 up, but now that you mentioned it -
yes, the '70 down bus hubcaps DO fit on the '71 up bus/van wheels.  looks
kinda dorky, but they fit.
