Default BB Chev Spark Plug Heat Shields

I recall seeing a large and small set of heat shields on BB Chevys. What year(s) and what chevrolet vehicles were they installed on?

I believe '67 and earlier BB Vettes used them. Not sure about
'67 and earlier other BBC varients...

I always was under the impression they were mainly used on trucks.

------The smaller barrel shaped shields are correct for 65/66 big-blocks. The heads have drilled and tapped bosses for them so they are easy to spot. The flared out bigger type were definetly on a bunch of later trucks, but Im unsure whatever other applications they had. Possibly later full-size Chevys???......Bill S
