***UPDATE***
I went to my FLAPS and bought the 7/16x20 wheel studs that I THOUGHT I needed. Everywhere I looked, and everyone I asked said the same thing. Found the Dorman 610-025 and it looked to be right...LOOKED to be.

I pulled my axle. Using my caliper/micrometer, I eyeballed the diameter of the knurled/serrated shoulder of the wheel studs in my axle and it showed to be about .600-.620 ish... Then I measured my brand new ones and the measured .556 at the shoulder. Trolled thru about three more FLAPS's and can NOT find the proper wheel stud with the 5/8-ish serrated shoulder.

*scratching head*

What to do now? Question #1 is, Why do all the different 'authorities' tell me that I need one particular bolt, when mine is completely different. I guess there is some possibility that a previous owner swapped axles on my old truck, but knowing what I know about the truck, and the meticulous records that have travelled with the truck, and been handed down to me, I think it is highly unlikely that the axles were changed.

So do y'all have any input/ideas on this situation? One thought is that I could change all the studs on both sides of the truck.

Will get actuall existing stud measurements tomorrow once I get them pressed out...
