1972 lug nuts markings??
Hello all, I know this is petty but I am trying to find out what markings the lug nuts had for a 1972 small block with a December 71 build date.
I cant find any reference for it.
Thanks Ike

Last February Tfringo here on the forum mentioned 5, maybe 6 types.
Waffle
Triangle
Diamond
RBW
DMC
And possibly no stamp or a large circle around the face.
Good news is if it's not documented no one can say yours are wrong.
I actually called a dealership with the part number and they gave me all the dealerships in the Ohio, Michigan, Indiana area that had any in listed in stock. When I called, I asked specifically for those with DMC stamping, and that seemed to be the majority of them.
I called enough places to get a set of 20. Paid more in shipping than what the nuts cost.

Hey thanks all especially BarryB.. Interesting and even more interesting that NCRS doesn't judge them. I assumed they looked at everything!!!!
I know its a small piece but why not get it right if possible!! Ike
