Lug nuts............. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Where do you guys get yours. My 77 has those P.O.S. chromed capped ones that you can never get off. and make the clickity clack racket. I am to find some at a good price that are good quality. I tired the ones from Autozone on the 84 but they don't hold up like I had hoped and use the dumb locking lug that does not even fit...

This is gonna be on the 4x4 so six per wheel. Maybe an ebay seller?

Thanks

Check a tire shop. They usually buy them in bulk, so they are cheaper.

My opinion is that there is only one lug manufacturer to use . McGard . Summit racing sells install kits with 16 lugs and 4 locks for like $40 . They are heavy and will not rust . Nice lugs .

If you get a wheel lock set make sure anybody (ie tire shop) that will remove your wheels know to NEVER use an impact gun on the key for the lock. Back when I had my buick it had the wheels with the lugs way down in the hole and they used a gun on the lock and ruined it. they had to break cut the wheel off to fix it. They did get me a new wheel free but still that took 2 days to fix.

Can anybody tell me the size of these nuts? it is on a 6 lug 1/2ton 4x4

I am pretty sure the 70's and 80's 6 lug 4x4's are 7/16-20 thread . I am sure someone who owns one will be able to confirm this or give you the correct info . You can also call Summit Racing and they have a tech line that should be ableto answer the question based on year , make , model , etc .
