Dang well I'll post it up and maybe someone reading this will have some knowledge to share lol. My dana44hd has 1/2" wheel studs and my Dana60 rear has 9/16" wheel studs... one of them is wrong lol. Trying to figure out if I should put 9/16" in the front, 1/2" in the back, or what is the best option.
On a side note, do bigger wheel studs mean bigger axle? My front 44 is an HD which is their biggest axle and is 3500# instead of the lighter dana44s at 3000 and 3300.

Thinking out loud here.... but will the wheels you are using do 9/16? I'd go bigger all around if you can.
I don't the answer to your next question though....

Didn't they call those Turbines Hurricanes at one time ? Probably wrong on that lol.
So what's left AFA rust 2100, the front fender ?
Tubines look perfect for that truck !

That is correct, Brew. As I recall, they were called Turbine Cyclone Hurricane wheels.... and the name gradually got shorter.

Oh,man! I always loved the turbine wheel- especially on the old dent sides- just a throwback from my teenage years, i guess!
Good morning thinkers!- hope y’all are doing well-
JB- we had an E-350 van as a mill truck, and it did the same thing- it would get stuck in park, then, for no rhyme or reason, the damn thing would be ok for a while... iirc, it was loose bolts.- hope it dont leave her stranded!
fellers have a blessed Sunday!- ill catch up later!
