But the original hub caps do not fit the "nubs" and not having hub caps on the front is both ugly and exposes the hubs to weather and damage. So I too would like to know if there is a way use the original hub caps? Or should we be looking for newer GMC hubcaps as an okay replacement?

The answer to everybody's question is: IF you want original hardware, use original wheels for original hub caps. If you don't care, use non-original wheels with any cap you want, that fits. Modifying a wheel to fit a hub cap is probably not worth the effort and may look goofy. Clips were used thru 61, then nubs.
