Talking Lug Nut Help.

Good morning folks, can anyone link some open ended/factory style lug nuts that will fit a 1979 F250 4x4? My old lug nuts do not clear my new setup. Thank You!

What is your new set up, and what doesn’t clear?
It sounds like you don’t have stock Lug nuts right now and are just looking for some?
Your four-wheel-drive should have half inch studs, unless it’s a super heavy duty model. Some of those got 9/16, but even my F350 has half inch studs.
Are you running steel wheels now, or aluminum?
sorry, I don’t have a link at the moment, but they should be relatively easy to find if you’re just looking for stock replacements.
In fact, probably any auto parts store has them on the shelf.

What kind of new rims did you get? Are they thicker in the area around the hub? Are you sure you do not just need the correct lug nut? Yes 99% of us FTE'ers are visually motivated, so yes we need some pictures and or the rim information.

Gorilla is a great source for lug nuts. https://www.gorilla-auto.com/

No problem. Questions always get us thinking about problems that might crop up anyway.
Glad you got it figured out.

Always put all the info in the thread, you never mentioned you were running hub caps. That is a complete different lug nut set up.

Like Paul Harvey, tell the rest of the story....up front. Lol
