TOPY is a steel co. for the wheels.  I know who makes the 69 b9 lugnuts NOW Scott Fuller after I sent him some original undersize lugnuts so he could make the stainlees steel cap cover and they are excellent exact. I don't remember who made them first in 69 probly a local wheel company or trailer company as there are many in northern in. southern mi. area  but ford didn't make the 69 b9 wheels centercaps or lugnuts.
