Will 1970 wheels fit a 9/16" stud? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I switched my '70 3/4T over to '72 front discs, they came with 9/16" studs instead of the 1/2" that the '70 was originally equipped with.

I'd like to run the stock wheels, and I was about to get them blasted and powder coated, but then I realized they might not fit my new studs!

Easiest way would be to pull a wheel off and check, but thought I'd ask if someone happens to know offhand if the 70 wheels will fit the 72 studs. I'm surely not the first to try....

Thanks,
Dave

A grabbed a spare stud out of the box, it goes through the wheel just fine. Now we know :-)
