Unhappy Lug Nuts

I have just learned that the 71 and new 3/4 tons have 9/16" studs and 70 and older have 1/2" studs.

You see I have a 69 3/4 ton with split rims so I was going to buy a set of steel 8 bolts cheap then when I get it mainly restored I was going to buy nice chromes. Now I think I will have problems finding steel 8 bolts with 1/2" holes.

What would be the easiest and cheapest fix?

Should I replace the old drums with newer and therefore have 9/16" studs? (nothing has been done to the brakes yet)

Suggestions??

Thanks
Trevor
