Yes, I need to look into a way to secure these better, because my luck if I get a flat is when all the studs would spin. These actual bridge truck studs must be a nightmare, especially since those trucks were made to be fording rivers to drop their cargo. I believe these were made for 3"...

This is Michigan, we already grease our studs up real well if you ever want to get your nuts off. LOL! Seriously, I always grease the studs on all my vehicles. I hear ya tho, the knurl on the original is about 1/8" longer, so that's where it would have to be done I would think, the spacer hole...

What would get rusty to hold the nut to the stud? There are no threads extending past the nut.

No, NAPA couldn't get the longer studs, I had to order them online. Those are the part #s on the boxes.

Just an FYI, I happened to stumble on some studs that fit perfectly with the 1 1/2" spacer. I went to NAPA and two different truck parts stores and the longest stud they could find was 4", they all said there was none longer, maybe they just didn't want to look? I found some that are 4 3/16"...

That's what I was not sure about, good to know! Thanks.

I spent the day today looking for some longer studs, went to two different truck places and the longest one they could get was the same one which NAPA can get, a Euclid stud that's 4" long. The shank is about 1 1/4" longer than a stock stud, which I think will fit in the spacer perfectly. I like...

Just installed some 16r20s on my bobbed M818, went ahead and adjusted the limit bolts to eliminate the rubbing on the steering arm, but would like to improve the steering radius, so just ordered some 1 1/2" bridge truck spacers. So I need 1 1/2" longer studs, was in NAPA today and the longest...

Amazing?

That looks great! Good job.

Those are cool. I just use a GPS in my buggy, it has a speedometer built into it. Two for one that way.

No sir, I wasn't aware there are no pre-existing holes on your frame. My big concern with adding a receiver hitch, was ground clearance and interference with the pintle when it rotates, those are the biggest reasons I wanted it removable. Probably would never be a problem, but I wanted the...

Here is what I did for a hitch assembly. I wanted it removable, and best of all, I use the hitch on other trucks. I used existing holes on the frame to mount the other two receivers. Just to give you different ideas.

When I converted my International CO to 4x4, I had to keep the tilt cab to access everything underneath it. I used cables for the dual handle transfer case shifter and tranny shifter, they work great.

That is awesome! Makes my 64 international CO I converted to 4x4 look like a Tonka toy.
