Thanks Hotrod, I haven't looked really closely, but haven't noticed an L . I'll check when I go back. I thought I'd read here somewhere that some maybe medium duty ones did lefties. Could be dreaming... I can try some oil, don't want heat as trying to protect paint on nuts and rim...

3B, thanks. I think they dropped the Maple Leaf name by 52, it's only got Chevrolet 1700 tags on the hood, wish it had the maple leaf, that'd be cool. The wheels are 2 piece (solid rim with retaining ring) 5 bolt. Yes all nuts have cone shape washers attached, and yep you got it a 1-3/16" socket fits. You're memory seems great to me!

I'll update when I go trade the front right wheel for the left... putting on the original pinstriping that was on them one at a time. Too cold to do in barn where the truck is.
