Rear wheel studs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello;

Well, when I was at the junk yard other day, I picked up two rear hubs from what i believe was 70-71 C20 with rear ho52. I picked those up because I need the outer bearing hold down clips and I couldn't find them anywhere else. Anyways, since I upgraded the front to disc I believe I have 19/16" studs in front while my rear studs are smaller (maybe 1/2"). Now that I am in process of switching the rear to disc and now I have these new hubs, I was wondering that I could use these rather than drilling the old ones larger? I measuered everything including the new baring and seals that I bought and it seems they all fits. Any inputs?
