Title: Off topic for 73-87ChevyTrucks: 1999 GMC 3/4 ton wheel caps
Post by: series60 on May 18, 2006, 12:38:00 pm

I have a very nice set of 1999 GMC 3/4 ton center wheel caps which must be installed using the newer type of lug nuts. I know these newer style lug nuts came in both metric and sae standard threads. My question is which year were sae standard. I want to install these caps on my 1973 3/4 ton C-20 but don't want to buy the wrong ones. Any help in this purchase will be greatly appreciated.

This guy on ebay sells what you are looking for. Those lugs are expensive but worth it. I bought some for my 74 blazer for the new style astro caps. Lugnuts on ebay
This auction is for a set of wheels but he has the lugs listed in the discription at $2.00 a piece.
