Jake, I know what ad you are talking about, but there are a lot of oddities in GMC ads and photos where they were making changes and adding or subtracting non-production parts. Production of the red centered caps ended in 1957 and the Blue ones started with the 1958 model year - there were never any 58's, 59's nor 1960 GMC ever produced off the assembly line with red centered caps.
