Re: open ended lug nuts

Never had this problem with an F body, but have with other cars. Buy those "acorn" lugs. The ones with a dome top, and the hex only goes halfway up the lug. You can use a drift and a hammer to tap the acorn tops off from the inside, and voila, open ended chrome lug. Actually, you could probably do it with most chrome lugs. I've only tried acorns. Good luck!

You could also change out the wheel studs if you wanted to, so you could use whatever lug nuts you wanted, otherwise i think deckstripes idea is pretty good
