What is the lug nut size for the '51 and how long did that size continue with Chevrolet.

Need to find some in the local yard here.

The 7/16"-20 hex nut with taper was used starting in the late 20s up to the time when the studs were changed to metric. New ones can be purchased through most autoparts stores. They may have to order them if they don't have in stock.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
