The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts lug nut source

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a source for lug nuts for a big bolt? Specifically a 58 2 ton. I think they are 5/8-20 and would be installed/removed with a 1-1/2 socket.

thanks,

harrydale

did you try napa, advanved auto, autozone, or what ever you got out there? any big truck places like this http://www.inlandtruck.com/locations/columbia-MO.php or similar thats close to you. did you look in any junk yards for any? take one as a sample to make sure its right.

NAPA and or a big truck parts place.
Lug nuts are absolutely no problem to get.

Thanks Guys! Can't see the forrest for the trees! I never even thought of just regular old parts places.

Thanks again

i got mine from rock auto. My local napa didn't have the type i needed in stock. I looked up the part number in the doorman catalog (on doormans website). The picture id section it is sorted by thread size. Then i googled the part number and went with rock auto.

Shane,

Thanks for the lead on Dorman having the lug nuts. Would you please post the URL to catalog (and please post the page number of the picture ID section)?

Thanks,

sure thing. sorry about the delay in response time. I wish this forum would email me when there is a reply on a thread.

I got mine from rock auto. They come in a ten pack. I saw them on ebay and amazon as well, but I think rock auto had the best price with shipping and I've order from them before.
It's nice to have nuts that take the same size socket now. (I had three different types before)


Hope that helps.

Mine are 9/16 thread - for a 42 1.5 ton, but dorman makes 5/8 if you need that size.
