Looking for longer studs

[01xjcny]

Have manual lock outs from mile marker looking to replace all stud and lug nuts up front from what i understand the kit uses 78-79 f250/350 studs think the specs are knurl .608, length 2-1/4, shoulder length 15/16, thread is 1/2x20 just need them to be a 1/2 inch longer

I had a similar issue when I installed my bead locks, I opted to go with a different style of lug-nut since I needed new ones anyway. They are an ET style lug-nut, should be able to get them at a local tire store. Might be another option for you.

Race parts dealers and places like Summitracing.com will have what you need.

[01xjcny]

You guys have Fastenal there? Might be able to find it at a place like that.

[01xjcny]

yes i was thinking of them but was not sure if they carried auto parts never hurt to try

[01xjcny]

nobody had anything and really did not want to help either about ready to switch the lock outs to stock if i cant find parts

That is the trouble with parts stores nowadays. If they can't find it with the data base, it doesn't exist. If I get a chance I will ask tomorrow at a local parts store.

That is because in theory, it didn't. The manual lockouts from Mile Marker use Bronco II spindles and hubs. So that is why I said to try to find longer studs for a Bronco II. Once you have them in hand you would need to check the measurements, but it gets you right in the ball park and a very good likelihood that they would be the correct ones for your application. The other option is to call Mile Marker tech and ask them for a recommendation.

i am going to get a match for what i have and get these lug nuts and see how it goes. on the head the stud it says 279 and on this site http://www.kentonlinecatalog.com/guide/KentAutomotiveCatalog/4-40.asp#

the measurement is .608 knurl i measured my stud at .585. i work tomorrow so i remeasure again and go from there

I have found many odd sized studs in the past at front end shops. They mark them up but have most sizes in stock.

Ok so this one has me stumped the dorman number for the one listed in post one is 610-279 thus the 279 on the end. however there is not another one with that knurl size. So I went up in thread size still nothing. I then converted the size metric and still nothing. So I really dont know what to tell you, you may have to drill your hub out to accept a larger knurl size if you need the extra length. Good luck !!
