Are these swedged or not? help

gdizzle said
So maybe or maybe not swedged? I supposed I can start grinding off the weld and see what happens. Also any insight as to the 083 on the studs? Does that mean Dorman 610-083 that has a knurl of .563? Scarebird suggests the 9in hub takes a different stud than the 10in hub. and that I need longer studs. So I bought 610-114 which has a .582 knurl. Are those gonna be too big? Should I search for new longer studs that have the same .563 knurl?

I went thew scarebird route. I like em. looks like you are staying 4" bolt pattern. I went to 4.5 bolt pattern though for more rim choice(yeah I filled and redid the 71/4 rear end too so I don't have mis-matched wheels. What I did was drill the backside of the stud using a 1/2" bit then chiseled off the head and drove my swedged studs out the front, I went to 2" screw in studs instead of redoing the knurled type fitting and swapped up to larger studs. in these pictures I'm test fitting the newer LBP rims on the longer studs to check what lugnuts I'll need .
yours don't look swedged and it gonna be fun grinding the weld out of there. I'd check and make sure the hub hasn't been damaged but beating out the studs , if it's still good then your good to go.
