front drums w/o hubs?

I know that this is an old post but I wanted to say thank you for all the great info. My '67 dart has the original 10" front drum brakes and I need to separate the hub from the drum to replace the drums. This thread gave me the info I needed to make an informed decision. Parts/tools on the way. I am going to try to save the LH studs but have back up RH studs on the way in case.
Good plan. There was a reason for those LH studs and they were used on many cars besides Mopars, even some Japanese. The reason was that the lug nuts are less likely to loosen on the L side if LH threads. Don't ask me the theory why. A good guess is that it so confused owners that the benefit wasn't worth the hassle, plus the extra PN's. The result was that later tire monkeys didn't know about LH threads. I would have to watch them close at tire shops on my Mopars. Even having the service monkey write in large letters "LH threads on L side" on the work request, I would see the shop monkey turning up their impact wrench trying to get the lug nuts off, turning them the wrong way. F their rules, I would run back there and inform them. A Goodyear once spun my stud probably doing that, then put the wheel back on that way without telling me. I found out later when trying to change the tire on the side of the freeway and couldn't since the stud just spun.
