Re: before my time unilugs
You got a pic of the wheels. I've got some old washers and lugs kickin' around. With a pic I could do some matching up for you.

Re: before my time unilugs
Stich, Your cragars and daisies both use a shank type lug nut with a regular washer. The shank can't be any longer that the wheel is deep. I think most shanks were 5/8 in dia. and the lengths varied. There were two types of washers. ETs and keystone took the elongated washers. Yours will use just use regular washers and they should come with the lug nuts.
Here is a website that will have what you need. http://www.prestigewheel.com/index.html

Re: before my time unilugs
My ET Slots from the 60's are Uni-lug. I have the "washers" with the holes on the outward side. They fit my truck fine. Not sure about the Cragars or Westerns...
I will tell you this... If you ever go to a shop of any kind to have work done where they remove a wheel... MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE DING DONGS REINSTALL THE WHEEL!!! I had 2 lug nuts snapped off at a tire shop because the kid reinstalled 2 of the washers that fell out (and they do) inboard instead of outboard and snapped off the studs reefing on the lug nuts. He was lucky he didn't damage the wheel. Gary

Re: before my time unilugs
You can flip the ET uni-lug washers backwards and use a longer shoulder lug nut. That's what I did with mine.
