RE: Left hand studs and nuts - NAPA Reference

Good point. There is no valid reason except authenticity. Same with the old
tapered axles, dual point distributor, etc. In my case, I'll stay with the
originals until I can't get the parts any longer. Just depends on why we
have our cars. /Butch / Ferndale, WA

Subject: RE: Left hand studs and nuts - NAPA Reference


The 2007 NAPA nut and stud catalog shows all left hand studs for b-bodies as
"N/A". There may still be some small quantities available in individual NAPA
stores around the country. Another potential source close to home might be
wheel and brake shops as they often purchase hardware in large lots.

Personally, I made a point of replacing my lefties with right handers after
my studs were destroyed by the Les Schwab tire store in Sparks, NV. I'm not
aware of any valid reason for keeping the old ones and the rights are
plentiful.
