If I remember correctly all camaro - chevelle & corvettes had 7/16 studs.They were on 4.75 bolt circle but still had 7/16 studs.

I'm pretty sure your right but all GM racers I know that are serious drill them out and put in 1/2" studs for saftey.

Just wanted to let you guys know how I did my big driveshaft.
I found one out of a C body wagon. Big joints. Took it to my
local driveshaft shop. Told him the lenght I wanted.( 44 3/4 in)
He cut it down and balanced it, all for only $125.00.
The total I have in the whole thing with new joints is about
$200.00. Big diamater shaft and joints. This one should hold
up better than the old small joint shaft.
Just my 2 cents worth. GreenDuster.

That was a resourceful way to handle it, Brian!
Say, that's a great-looking Duster, by-the-way! I love the blacked-out hood!!! The wheels look really good on that car, too....
Are you running a 727? I figured you were since the C-body slip yoke worked in your car. Am I right?
