My truck is a 1950 3/4 ton. Anyone know if there is a longer stud than the stock one? If so, what is the part #? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 252 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 252 | Don't have a part number, but, as a suggestion, maybe rear studs from a late model dually might work. I believe they're a little longer, and the same diameter as a 3/4 ton stud. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 1,438 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 1,438 | I replaced my fronts with longer studs. I went to a NAPA with a machine shop. The guy there took care of getting the studs and putting them in. Can't remember the cost but I felt it was a good deal.

Tried NAPA, Autozone, Parts Plus, Pep Boys, you name it. No one had different length studs. Mine were 7/16 diameter and I needed to replace them with 9/16 diameter for new wheels. No one wanted to machine out the hubs while they were on the car. One garage/machine shop offered to do the job for over a grand. I still have my original wheels and tires. Let me know how you fare, and I hope your luck is better than mine.

I searched through a lot of Dorman parts to find them but think I have two that will work. They are 1/2" in diameter which is original. Email me at [email protected] if interested. | | |
