SS Wheel valve stem extensions

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.

Pretty sure the ones shown above are a steel nut with a stainless cap crimped on.

Joe, BINGO.........you are correct. I see so few original lug nuts (as shown below) its my own conclusion as to how rare these must be. I would be interested to learn what 1969 or 1970 Wheels used these same stainless capped lugs, besides the Z-28. Its so difficult to find these survivor lugs, therefore I'm not sure what other applications used them.....

How about my 1970 14x7 Camaro Rally Wheel application ???

FYI, The short crown 2nd design is sold by Ames Peformance Pontiac for one for a nominal charge. I've seen inept EBAY buyers, pay way too much for "NOS" 2nd design lugs, thinking they were buying 1970 Originals......NOT !!!!!!!!
