Re: OEM Style lug nuts
Chuck,
Do you know when GM changed to the newer design? My 69 SS Chevelle has the original design as noted in your photos above. I've seen other low mile 69 SS Chevelles that had the newer design though. Any thoughts? Phil Woj.

Re: OEM Style lug nuts
GM was using the second design on some of their full size trucks until the 1988s came out.

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
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.
