73 C30 C&C Wheel Stud Replacement

[evren]

I have a 73 C30 cab and chassis that I'm rebuilding. The lug nuts were hard to get off so I decided to replace them while i replace the rear drums, shoes and rebuild the brakes. I can't find the exact right replacement for the wheel studs. The closest ones I found were listed for a 73 C20 - it was a dorman part number 610-188. But the shoulder is a bit short (~1/2") so the stud will taper down before the end of the hole in the hub. Is this ok to use? Anyone know here to get the exact ones? LMC truck does not supply C30s just C10s and some C20 stuff.

While I don't have a dual wheel hub sitting here in front of me, I can't envision any reason why that new stud won't work just fine.

It's a single wheel hub. I think you're right, it should be ok, the only issue is that the 1/2" of the new stud will not fill up the hole in the hub. Thought it may not have the support it needs and could crack. I'll drive them in and take a picture on the weekend and post to show what i mean.

The shoulder does not support much. It's the knurled part that matters and it's the same length as the old one. You're good to go.

Rebuilt the rear brakes completely and put on the wheels.
