RHT vs LHT wheel studs

[customslotcars]

I have a 64 dart. The driver side has Left Handed Thread wheel studs. I am replacing the front drum and need new studs.

A. Can you reuse the old studs on the front?
B. Where can i find new LHT studs for the front?
C. Can I switch RHT studs and lug nuts

Thanks,
PJ

my local auto parts store carys lugs, yes you can reuse the old ones if you wish

i would just switch to all rht studs you can get them anywhere and lugnuts are easy to find too just go to your local oreilly autoparts or any parts house they can match some up easily no big deal at all

On my 66 I just changed the left side to right hand thread. It will save troubles some day when a young tire kid breaks off all the left studs if you leave them left hand.

..and you will have shiny new lug nuts!

I think i found a place to get the lefty studs. I know what you mean about breaking them off! I tried to loosen the first "left loosey" then in the back of my mind a little voice said "Wrong way dumby" as i flashed back to snapping one off on my buddies Barracuda.
