In your hunt for lug nuts let me know if you find US made ones. I ordered some Dorman brand from NAPA and they're Taiwanese, and no other options available from NAPA. I'll return them if I find better ones.
I'll look for numbers on those axle saddles.
I have some single wheel 13x3.5" drums, need to check if they fit in the 19.5 dual wheels, I think they might. By swapping them and spacing the backing plate out you'd gain about 1.25" room at the springs. I was going to do this for single wheels any how but might also work with duals.
