i looked into this about as thoroughly as i could.

the only 14x7 amc steelies were the 'turbocast' rims with the styled
urethane molding.  they would probably take a full wheelcover but
not a hubcap even with the urethane removed.  it'd be nice to find i
was wrong though.

mopar hubcaps changed size around '65-6; amc -may- be the same size as
the old style.  mopar had 14x6.5" wheels in the late '50s - early '60s
but no 14x7s, and possibly more than one 14x6.5, with different
offsets.

ford had 14x7s in the '70s but afaik hubcaps aren't the same size.
definitely center holes aren't, with fords the smaller.  btw they had
two; a pre-disk with really-small center hole and a disk with a larger
but still too small center hole.  it won't fit amc disks or v8 drums,
trust me.
