Wheel stud length?

Does anyone know the length of the stock wheel studs on a Dana 44 w/discs? A previous owner had converted my truck to front discs by using a later model axle. The problem is they also used wheel spacers to allow the tie rod ends to clear the inner wheel lip on the aftermarket aluminum wheels. What they did not do was replace the studs with ones long enough to get the proper thread engagement. I can get either Moroso or ARP studs from Summit but I would like to know the stock length so I can order the correct length without tearing my hubs apart and measuring the studs.

I have picked up studs for 2 of my 76's at a couple of local parts stores. I wouldn't think you need to spend the money ordering them. I'll measure one this afternoon if there's not a reply sooner to your post.

That would be nice!
The stock 76-77 stud is 1 7/8" long. It is 2 1/8" total length with head. I believe they are 1/2" 20 thread.
