It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 66 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 66 | Sorry... Its a 53 GMC 9300. The PO used very long bolts and they don't seem to fit tight.He also had a spacer cut from what looks to be about 3/4" plate steel behind the rim. I want ot get rid of all that BS.

On a 1/2-ton the lugs are 7/16-20 I think.

The 9300 is the same as a 3100. It's a 1/2 ton.
I found a listing for them in the LMC book, $2.95 each | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | I'd check your local parts store. You can probably get them across the counter for far less money. You'll just need to take the hub apart so you can determine the correct length to request.
