Got my first Mopar. A 1969 Coronet R/T. Have to fix a few things to get it safety checked and on the road. One of the lugs on the rear drivers side is broke off. The previous owner took it in to a shop and they didn't know the drivers side are LH thread. I could change all of them over to RH but it would be a lot less work to get a LH one. Anyone know where I can find one? No real luck so far. Thanks.
I've heard that Frank Badalson has them available, but I haven't been able to confirm that myself.

Another place to check would be AMS Obsolete (formerly Frank Mitchell). I can't say for sure they have them either, but they might. Could be easier just to send a request than to sift through the website's info.

You said you needed a rear stud, but Front wheel studs are (rumored) to be available through Apex Autosports in Wisconsin... They used to stock the rear studs too, and may have replenished their stock since the website was last updated.

Unless you need them for show points, ditch the LH. I went all RH decades ago and have not once regretted it.
If I can find my box of studs in the shop, I should have the ones I pulled from my 68 charger. You can have one, just cover postage.
Did all the late 60's big and small block cars use the same size lug nut and stud? I have a box of them somewhere in my garage.

Thanks guys!
I did find them. PM me if you still want one :cheers:
If you haven't found one yet and/or still want to find them NOS, check out Bill Allphin's ads (second one has a pic):

I was able to still get them from my local auto part store. They had the studs & the chrome acorn lug nuts to go with them in stock.
