Missing nuts!

Ok everyone, sit down when you read this...
Went out to where this M211 with the heavy duty crane is
The task is to get the outriggers in place on the ground in case one
of these old tirs has rotted thru and decides to fail and have the truck
fall on me.
Ok, so I am a little paranoid, but then the tires have been sitting
there in the mud for 10 years.

Well I guess my paranoia was really very silly....What I should have
been worried about
was whether the lug nuts were there..........Yes, you read that correctly.

Some Jerk had stollen all of the lugnuts off of the 4 rear wheels, and
there are only 4 rear wheels.

Needless to say it was major pucker time since I was standing right next
to the truck at the time
trying to pull out the outriggers.

I need a minimum of 24 lug nuts, maybe 48 if I end up putting duals on.
Is there anyone who can sell them to me at a good price? Preferably on
the west coast
since shipping will be a problem and I need them very quickly.

Thanks,
Bruce
