Yenko Deuce wheel question
Since the Deuces were shipped from GM with XT steel wheels and later had the SS wheels installed at Yenko (or Hurst) and were not actually purchased through GM, did Yenko use the stainless steel capped lugnuts like the SS Chevelles,Novas, and Camaros had from the factory, or did they simply buy chrome acorn style nuts to mount the wheels? Just curious, as my car had the stainless capped ones on it when I bought it and I got to thinking that maybe they aren't correct on a Deuce.
 Schonye? Marlin? Tom K?

Re: Yenko Deuce wheel question
The ones you have are correct. Be careful with the impact wrench. S.

Re: Yenko Deuce wheel question
In my experience, the majority of original cars found have small chrome acorn lugnuts, not the stainless capped ones commonly used. I have all of my original lugnuts, and have seen the ones on other 'Yenko' converted cars, and they are chrome. I have not been able to find correct replacements, so I used the stainless version temporarily. If I can't find the correct ones, I'll get my originals rechromed.
It is possible that the 'Hurst' converted cars received a different lugnut. What do you have on the yellow deuce Schoneye?

Re: Yenko Deuce wheel question
I just went out and checked again. I do have the small chrome acorn nuts. I have the cragers on it now, and have two bags of nuts in the drawer. When I checked last night I grabbed the wrong one. The others came with the Peck deuce. They are the stainless capped ones. Sometimes it's hard to keep your nuts straight, or anything connected with them.

Re: Yenko Deuce wheel question
Yes Joe, that's right. Sometimes I get the two deuces mixed up. 3 of the 4 rims that came with the Peck deuce are the originals. And the Yellow deuce did come with Goodyear white striped E70s. Hey, give an old man a break. If I remember to zip up it's a good day.
