need part number for wheel studs

[stock1970]

I am putting 1/4 inch spacers on the front of my 76 to keep from knocking the balancing wieghts off the wheels, rims are kinda thick so i need the spacers, but now i need longer wheel studs..

any part number for napa, or autozone or anywhere for the longer studs for the front.. rear ones look to be 1/4 longer but the studs for the back came with the yukon 31 spline axels

I searched high and low and out a post up
about the same thing. You won't find the exact stud 1/4" longer. Some guys had them custom machined.

hmm.. seems like there would be a substitute from a different vehicle that would work. just thinking out loud i guess..

might try Napa # 641-1624 shoulder length is a tinge different....

Thread is 1/2-20.
Press an old oner out and take it into the Napa store. They'll find you the right one.

I know it's 1/2 20.....shoulder length is 29/32" as opposed to 15/16, knurl diameter is .625 on both and it's 2 1/4, exactly 1/4 "

I had issues with the same thing. The ONLY solution I could find was a shank nut.

I have to mention that I haven't actually done anything to remedy the problem though, it is on the list.

Try Currie, Summet Racing, Hawaii Racing or some other race car site.

2-1/4" long? Wow!
The rear studs on my '68 are only 1-1/2" long, with a 7/16" shoulder.
I know my fronts are about a 1/4" longer or so.....
Later years or maybe disc brakes must make a difference.

Bump . Did you come up with a solution. i'm in da same boat...

When I searched napa online I found that the '68 has a 1-13/16" stud for the front and another P/N for the rear. The front P/N is BK 6411611 and the rear is BK 6413204. I then searched for '70 and '72, and those two years had the same for the front and the rear, which was the shorter BK 6413204. I don't know the length of the studs you have now, but maybe the ones off the front of the '68 would be long enough.
The P/N for the '76 front is BK 6413111 and BK 6412782 for the rear.
Go into Napa and have them pull these parts and look to see if you can use something from a different year?

Autozone had more info as far as dimensions.
Looks like your studs are 2" long.
I searched all the way up to '84 on 4x4 f150's and everything is the same P/N.
You're going to have to go into Napa and be a pest......
If you can't find something the length you want, but are able to find something that is a little too long and the shoulder is correct, send them to me and I'll cut them down for you.

Another option is to use the ceramic beads for tire balancing instead of weights.

 

[statella43]

Please let me know if you find anything. I could not find anything that matched but just longer. I wish I could. Eventually I am going to go bigger wheels and tires. I wish I would have known before I bought brand new 35" KM2's and aluminum wheels. My other bronco has 16" wheels but its 8 lug so they wont work.

 

[74fiberglass]

Yes plez keep us posted

I'm in the same boat too! Need answers. Going to run 1/2" spacers. I'd like to just run those extended shanked lugnuts, but I'm afraid it'll still be too short.

I just broke down and ordered spacers from Wild Horses. They where on sale

when you add spacers be sure to use thread locker and torque em down tight. they tend to work free over time.
