older cragar 5.5 wheel washers

[Warren]

I just did my annual coating of fluid film. Last two winters truck sat out with a tarp. Im a bad parent. Soon should be able to get it into a portable shed this year.

First time in 20 years im not understanding the washers. Yes on this side to the wheel aspect. Here is a photo of one washer up before snug and one down. If im doing a nut at the top of the wheel the washer wants to hang down towards the center, if I was snugging a lug below the center the heavy side of the washer hangs away.

Hopefully you can se the washers under my slightly overly enthusiastic rust proofing.

Has anyone ever had their old wheels rechromed?

thanks
