Re: OEM Style lug nuts
I would be happy with either of the two styles posted. I did get a call late yesterday from another member who was gracious enough to not only help me to locate them but will also hand deliver them to me.
 However, I do need more. He stated that Larry Patten sells these so I will check a couple more sources including Larry and AMES. Thanks for all the help.

Re: OEM Style lug nuts
Check with your local GM dealer. They were used on the earlier '80s full sized trucks with the rally wheels. Our '78 4X4 had them. You never know what GM still has in stock. It sometimes takes a good parts guy to find the stuff.

Re: OEM Style lug nuts

Re: OEM Style lug nuts
Rick, I'd sure like too know what GROUND UP sent you, relative to my above picture.
The Camaro owners would be ecstatic, if somebody was repopping the ORIGINAL 1st design lug nuts. I do not know when G.M. changed over to 2nd design on this lug nut, keeping same part number. I also would like to buy any survivor lug nuts someone might have...(After Rick of course) Thanks,

Re: OEM Style lug nuts
Unfortunately they are the second design but the best I have found so far.

Re: OEM Style lug nuts
I checked my stash. I have several sets of the newer style lug nuts.
My 1998 Airstream trailer also used lug nuts with SS caps on it. I replaced them this summer but still have them so I will check to see what style they were. Paul

Re: OEM Style lug nuts
As owners, tire stores destroyed the stainless steel jackets with impact wrenches, etc, it is quite rare to find originals that survived. I would imagine even the wrecking yards back in the day, tossed these in with the scrap after removing wheels.
At the Muscle Car Nationals LOOK at the Lug Nuts on Charlie's Z and the Black/Stripe Delete COPO Z. (Both unusual rare,70 Z-28's, 1st time displayed at any major show) Just my .02
