SS Wheel valve stem extensions

[Jacsey 70Z]

Here are a couple pictures of my original 70 Z28 with extentions, lugnuts, caps, rings, tires.

Jack,

Same extention as on my car.

Check out the SUPER RARE ORIGINAL 1st design Lug Nuts on Jack Seymours wheel.....If anybody runs across any savable, presentable copies.........please advise.....

What makes the lug nuts so rare? They look identical to the ones that came on the Deuces.

I think the crown is taller on original production line ones vs. over the counter ones. I'll bet detailed diagramed pics will soon follow.

BTW... Did we ever decide for sure that Yenko Deuces used the same nuts as the Chevelle SS wheels? Since they would have been shipped with XT wheels and the Magnum 500's added, I always wondered if the 500's came shipped with a set of stainless capped nuts like GM installed wheels, or if Yenko just ran across the street to the local tire shop and got some chrome acorn nuts for them... Heck, I wouldn't have been surprised if he reused the open ended nuts from the XT's! What's your yellow car have on it Mayor?

Original deuces have chromed, tall dome, acorn nuts - most likely the version available from the tire shop across the street! They look very similar to the lugs in the pic above.

I'm pretty sure I have a set of those lying around in my valve stem drawer...... I thought they were aftermarket stuff!

Why the heck would Chevy use them in production rather than just having longer rubber stems??????

Ah, I see. I thought they were totally chrome like the deuces.

So the easy way to tell them apart is the height of the crown at the top... if it is approx the same height as the hex it is the "ole" one if it is shorter than the hex... it is the newer?
