Larry,


I have three different styles of original-type lug nuts in varying degrees of scruffy:






The ones on the left are in the worst shape and they are still decent. Amazingly, these three styles all different slightly in height and configuration. So it would be helpful to know what kind we are trying to match. 


I don’t know enough about the various Hall Pantera offerings over the years to know if some of these are aftermarket. I can tell you they all date from the 1970s however.
