I was before this point speaking to 8 lug hubs as a 3/4 ton would have had.
I did not know you had a 1/2 ton front axle.

Never mind about different studs, I’m not familiar with much of the 1/2 ton stuff. When we were talking 3/4 and 1 ton 8 lug the stock stud size did get larger over the years.

This thread has certainly changed direction as it went along.
