I keep seeing aluminum wheels on pics of members trucks. I've cleaned up a set of Shelby 500s from my second 521 pick-up to use on my current '71 521. I found new accessories for my wheels at....customwheelaccessories.com ; they're located in Anaheim. I got lug nuts & washers, Centers, and locks, for a little over $80.00, and they've got parts to fit every kind of wheel.

Good to know. Theres a place here [San diego] that sells the center caps for them [slotted mags] but it's good to know of another place, plus im only 1 1/2 hours from Anaheim.

71-521, When I found the parts that I needed, on their web page, I just called their number (1-800-222-4292 or 714-827-5200). I made my order and asked what the total was, and sent them a money order for the purchase. I did'nt have any problems at all in ordering.  For those of you who have the Shelby 500s, I'll list the things that I ordered from them.  Lug Nuts-#5101 Dome, Mag Regular--Washers-#6021c, Mag    1 1/16"dia.--Locks-#1031s, 7/16"--Hub Caps-#1332, Short Bullet Style, 5 Ear, Screw-on. These parts worked well for me. You can choose different styles of lug nuts, but check the hole diameters, in the wheels, and the thickness of the wheel from the mounting face to the point where the shoulder of the lug nut, with the washer, makes contact. You don't want the lug nuts so long that they touch the brake drums, and you want minimal clearance between the shank on the lug nut, and the mounting hole in the wheels. John
