BB truck and big truck wheel studs
I was working on the brakes of my '33 BB and was disappointed to find left hand studs on both front drums. I pressed the left hand studs out and pressed out RH studs out of the '34 front axle I had only to find the '34 studs about .005 smaller and won't stay in the drum!
The studs are 1" 3/4 and somewhere around .885 +or- .003 on the press fit shoulder for the '33. I haven't been able to locate any. I might have to make them from bar stock on the lathe but I'd rather not. For now, I guess I'm going to put the lefties back on. Any ideas on where I can get some RH studs? These are not the same as AA truck. |

Re: BB truck and big truck wheel studs
Ford and other truck makers installed left-hand threads on purpose. It's probably unlikely right hand threads in place of the left hand originals will have the nuts work free, but why not keep it original?
MACs used to sell the left and right hand nuts and studs for the front and dual rear (4 different studs and 6 different nut sizes). It's been a while snice I purchased any so I'm not sure who is supplying them.

Re: BB truck and big truck wheel studs
I have plenty of truck nuts in all 6 sizes if you need any. Also there are some studs on ebay. See if this is what you need:

Re: BB truck and big truck wheel studs
Do you have photos of what you're looking for? I took 2 AA drums off hubs and those had nuts on the inside of the studs. I bellieve that the '34 front drums that I've seen also have the nuts.
