Will these wheel studs work or do i have to find different ones(pictures of orig/new)

Hi all, I got a 73 gmc 3/4ton 8 bolt pattern 4x4 that has these 3 inch wheel studs, I went to pretty much every parts store/wrecker in the city and can not find ones that are like my originals, the only place that had anything close to them was napa with these ones but the threading is different because my acorn nuts wont properly thread on and get stuck.
my question is can I use these if I get the proper nuts? or do I need the ones that the bolt goes all the way through the hub as the new ones have the taper right before it comes all the way through/out of the hub, just wondering on opinions as I cant seem to find anything like the originals and was concerned about the stability of the bolt if its not a complete solid all the way through.or if anyone knows where I could buy the proper ones if these wont work, summit only had the style like the new ones.
thankyou for your time
(the reason the old stud is wore out at the end of the threading was the prev owner put lock washers on it and they wore the studs out over time)
