Looking,and digging deeper it all has to do with how deep the dishes are the mustang caps are 1 1/8 inch's deep where the truck ones were 2 or deeper

I have no idea what mine were on originally. BUT, you will need at least 2 of the deeper ones for the front. This isn't usually noted in ebay descriptions. I got lucky and got 2 deep from one seller and 2 shallow from another. The shallow will not clear the grease cap on front. And with the mismatch, a friend noticed it kinda fakes deeper rims on the back. Check photo - you can kinda see the differences, but it's pretty subtle.

And they need to have about 10.4" diameter for the 15" rims - most listings get somewhere in the neighborhood on that dimension, but none were ever exact. 16" rims had about 12" diameter I think.

My rears are close to 3 1/2" deep, because of how far the Sterling full floating axles stick past the brake drums.

And, of course with 4x4 the fronts have to have the correct size hole.

D44 hubs are much smaller that D50/60
