C2 1967 Rally Wheels lug nut?

[Pete NCRS # 30998]

Any orginals out there for sale or what should I look for replacements?

Who all is going to be at the Lowes Motor Speed Way for the Car/Swap meet this weekend?

Thanks,
Pete

Pete,

I'm not sure exactly why you are concerned about Ralley wheel lug nuts. They are be hidden by the center caps which, if you read the JG, are not removed for inspection of the wheels. For that matter, neither are the trim rings. Use a modern day nut or go junking, if you wish, and get some off a 1967 GM passenger vehicle with the same threads.

There really is no significant "identifying feature" for these nuts. Generally, the nuts used in the late 60's by GM were zinc plated with a very light irridite overplate. However, I expect there were slight variations in these nuts. Can you imagine how many of these things GM was buying at the time? I'm sure there were several manufacturing sources and, most likely, the St. Louis plant received them from a variety of sources which may have differed in minor ways.

I don't recommend the use of used lug nuts. Most of these things will have significant galling at the "cone". This prevents the nuts from seating properly. There are a LOT of lug nuts out there on cars that are WAY past their service life.

Use NEW, high quality lug nuts.
