Billy, you can get the wheel studs from C.W. Moss in Orange. They are 1/2-20 thread and they press in. Jimmy White
I can get them, and UPS them to you. Oh wait does UPS go to HEMET? Let me know, I can get them tomorrow, And ship them from there. Jimmy White
there was a post on here to make the drum a slip on (in front of the hub), i'll see if i can find it.
You will need to measure your holes. I have heards and seen the whole size vary. I am in the process of doing this now when replacing new USA drums on stock hubs and am having to go up a size in lugs. You want to be within .o25 before pressing in. Hope this helps Rusty
40-41 and 42-48 are different styles. Which do you have? Is the hub on the outside, or the inside? Early used a special stud made only for those hubs. Later could use any stud that fits, but like Dirty said, you'll need to measure your hole for the proper interference fit.
Stock studs will be to short. If you go to the local auto parts store and ask to see the Dorman fastener book and look in the lug stud selection, there are the pictures and the dimensions of the studs available. If you are using the new replacement drums you are also going to have to use one that is longer than stock due to the increased thickness of the new drums. And as previously mentioned you are going to have to take an internal measurement of the hole in your hub to find the closest stud to fit . This may require that you ream the hub hole slightly to match the new stud.
If the hole measures .630 (as mine did) try this dorman P/N 610-085. Knurl size is .655, has a 5/16" shoulder and is 1-9/16" long, 1/2X20 thread.
