1 ton dually wheels

I was up at my fathers and we were looking at his wheels on his 75 1 ton dually. I noticed that there is 2 small studs on each wheel. Can some one tell me what these are for? I have added a pic so that you can get a better idea what I'm talking about.

I think it's an aligment stud for the addition of another wheel. Especially if the one in the pic is used on the inside.

Interesting to find out though.

That was my first thought, but none of the wheels have holes in that location for them to slide into so that pretty much counts out that idea. I thought it might be some kind of stud to hold a hub cap of some sort.

I have a 85 ton duelly with it on it... It is for holding a chrome cover on the wheel. you slip a round bracket on it and then the lug bolts go over that. Then you pop the cover on and it has a place for two screws that screw into the bracket. If I had a camera I could show you but if you need anymore info.. let me know......
