Lug nuts

I think that I remember a thread that mentioned someone finding, or having access to lug nuts for the new style wheels, that will fit our trucks. These are the lug nuts that are 7/16 thread inside with the thread on the outside to attach the center cap. Does anyone have that info, or am I dreaming?

Does anyone have a pic of a 67-72 with the new wheels. I am talking about the 6 lug mag from the 01-03 pickup.

I have a spare wheel that I played with today. You need to punch out the center hole to fit our hubs. The back fits just fine, but the front is close. I am going to let someone else take a look and see if it is to close. The caps will not fit the front because of the grease cap, but maybe there is an option there also. Definitly no options if I can't find the lug nuts.

I saw 7/16", 1/2", and 9/16" at the swap meet in Springfield, Ohio this year. Bought the 1/2" lug nuts for mine, because I don't wanna have to take the rear hubs and have them punched out for the 9/16" studs. They are out there, you'll just have to look.
