Re: wheel Stud
I don't think the factory size on 1969 6 lug is 1/2-20.... I think it is 7/16 but you can drill them out for the 1/2-20....

Re: wheel Stud
I would remove one and take it with me to the parts store to be sure I got the correct ones. There are quite a few different spline configurations out there.

Re: wheel Stud
Ok , hoping some one can help me .
I need longer studs , for new aluminum wheels. My 68 K1500 , has. 7/16 x 20 studs . My question is how do I determine the spline diameter ? I think they at .560. But I am not sure and need this size to order proper studs . |

Re: wheel Stud
Pound one out and measure with a dial caliper. Measure both the stock stud and the hole. There should be a slight difference between the two. There is an acceptable range of a difference between the stud and hole for the proper press fit.
I would measure the front and back to see if they are the same. My rear's were a smaller knurl than the front, but I had aftermarket front brake rotors. If you can find half inch threaded studs with the right sized knurl for the hole you have then it would be a good upgrade. https://tech.arp-bolts.com/wheel-stud-fit.php Also, depending on what you have for wheel thickness and lug nuts, closed end lug nuts specifically. Dont be surprised if you have to cut the studs to a custom length. Last edited by sprint_9; 11-05-2019 at 12:47 AM. |

Re: wheel Stud
Can you share, need to replace the front studs on my 71 5-lug but do not know the knurl size. It is a driver so I can't knock them out and measure without replacements ready to go.
