Looking for 5/8 lug nuts to work with the aluminum rims dually Dana 60 axle

Do the wheels use flat face or coined nuts? Napa should have both.

Everything I look at shows the 2nd gens using 9/16-18 studs.

Yes, D-70 you might need this nut, it has a larger head so the cone is more blunt.

I don't think aluminum wheels will work on the rear 1st gen dually. They require this type wheel.

The rims of doome... Friend of mine had a truck in the workshop where the previous mechanic put the wheels on face to face and the alignment pin bending the inner rim flange.
Customer came into shop for a wobbly feel going down the road.

Yes, happened all the time back in the day, Dodge, Ford and Dexter used them.

So THAT'S why we called them training wheels...

Has aluminum rims on it now . Ran the aluminum rims on it for awhile before just trying to find a lug nut with the bulge instead of the taper . I think I found some on summit that might work

So should my first gen axle have an alignment pin ? This here truck is one that mr Johnny cash would be awful jealous of

I don't understand, what bulge? Picture?

The 1st gen Dodge uses stud centric wheels. So how are you centering the inner dually? Even with the oem wheels, they centered crappy. Most axles had the centering pin but not all. You just had to pay attention. If you line up the hand holes (4) they are right, if not, they are wrong.

How do you know/identify that you have a 1st gen dually rear axle?

 

[NIsaacs]

I think we have had this conversation before. If you have a 1st gen dually axle in your truck, the aluminum outer wheel will not match an oem inner. Nor will it match a 2nd gen hub centric wheel, if that is what the inner wheel is. Just exactly what is your inner wheel?

The 1st gen SRW or DRW is stud centric only. They do not use a machined hub front or rear.

The 2nd gen is both (hub or stud centric) on a SRW, hub centric only on a DRW rear, front can be either.

I know because it has 5/8 studs and it has inboard drums . So if the wheels don’t match how do you run aluminum rims ?

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

A lot of 5/8 lug nuts have the 45 degree cone seat for circle track wheels. Most other wheels are 60 degree cone.

Getting clear info out of you is like pulling chickens teeth

I still don't know what type nut you are talking about. Post a picture of the nut style you need and the face of the wheel. Also, the style nut you are currently using.

My Brain isn’t clear

this is what was originally used with these wheels. But I found some with a little bit larger flange that seem to fit the wheel better
