Look around the valve stem hole and get any stamping numbers and letters and post them here and we might be able to answer better. Find out the width between bead area on rim. Not scrap.

Finally got out to look at the rims.
Here are the stamp codes, both rims are 15", and we did have them on the old Elcamino.

Some 69 Z28's also used a YH code wheel, but your dates are off for this application.

Chrysler wheels wouldn't have fit his el camino. Chrysler used 4 1/2" bolt pattern.

i know that. i believe he said may or might have been on...
for some reason it didn't look exactly like a chevy rim, but looking on a bigger screen (not my android) the hub cap tabs are wrong for a Mopar.
