Duh.....

I did something fun and easy today. Not sure why it had not occurred to me until now. I put chrome covers on the lug nuts and it looks pretty good. We have them on some of the trucks at the shop and have had for years but for some reason I did not think of doing it to my small 1.5 ton.

Nut size

The nuts are standard sized "typical Budd". I think that they are 1.5", have to check.

Look good! I'm glad you didn't use the ones that are about 5" long and come to a sharp point! Like the hub caps too.

No, no "007" take-em out for me, just a mild nicety to dress the old truck up a bit. They sure went on tight though, have to put a small screwdriver in my tool bag to get them off if I need to.
