NC WTB 1972 original lug nuts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all,
On my next treasure hunt, for original 1972 lug nuts off a truck or blazer since they are the same. Will be needing at least 24 of them for 6 lug wheels. As always, thank you for the help.

What do they look like, I have some nuts off a 71 or 72 gmc truck, (dunno which) i'll post some pictures friday if no one else gets to ya (going out of town)

Thanks, if not found by the time you get back post some pictures. They look like regular bolts but the back side is rounded to snug (couldn't think of a better term) the wheel. Bolt size would be 3/4" on a 7/16-20 thread, I believe. They were the same for Chevy/GMC trucks and blazers/jimmy's, I'm pretty sure the 3/4 tons had the same bolt as well.

If you're just looking for regular open end lugnuts, any auto parts or tire store have them. I think what oldblue was asking and I was wondering is if there is anything special about the ones you want.

47thriftmaster · 05-22-2011, 05:19 PM

Nope, nothing special. GM used the same size bolts from the mid 40's to the 80's I believe. I just want the originals from the 70's.

I think 7/16- 20 is what you need so they will have to come from a 1/2 ton with 6 lugs. The 5 lugs had 1/2- 20 i believe. I will look and see what i have...

47thriftmaster · 05-22-2011, 06:19 PM

Thanks

i bought mine from LMC for less than $1 a piece. Another option for you

Eric,
Any luck with the lug nuts? Yes they would be 7/16-20. Thanks, Monte
