    I'm in need of a handful, (3 or 4) of factory lugnuts for my 73 Maverick. The auto parts only carry the chrome ones and want a good bit of change for them. Some of the ones on my car are losing the threads and won't tighten all the way.

    Thanks Guys

    I'd hit a salvage yard...should be able to get them by the bushel basketful for cheap! You may want to take a look at the studs...if they're not wanting to tighten up all the way, my bet would the threads on the studs are getting worn.

    Yeah I just checked advance. I have all new studs but the lugnuts were buggered up and wouldn't tighten up on the new studs, well a couple did but the rest wouldn't. Advance only had the chrome ones. I got some on the way. Thanks guys.

    Lugnuts are in the hands of the U.S. Post Office and on their way!!
