7/8 hex lug nuts

[1972RedNeck]

Anyone know where to get 1/2 lug nuts with a 7/8 hex like original?

Never seen that, 1/2'' with 13/16'' was common

Agreed. Both 72's I have had came with 7/8 lugs. Talking to an older fellow owner who has been around them since new and he said that 7/8 lugs were the normal back in the day. I'd like to get a set of 32 for another project...

I assume by the OPs signature this is for the K20:

3/4 ton trucks of that era run a 9/16" - 18 lug nut. Thus the 7/8 inch lug wrench. 1/2 ton trucks used 1/2" - 20 lug nut with the 13/16 wrench.

Dorman - Autograde - Wheel Nut 9/16-18 Standard - 7/8 In. Hex, 3/4 In. Length (sold by each) (Part No. 611-052)

I went to Napa to buy some when I built my spare tire carrier. I wanted the nuts to hold the spare to be the same as the lugnut so I could remove the spare using the lugwrench
