left hand threads
I have a 1970 F350. I know the rear wheels on the drivers side are left hand threads. You need to turn them to the right to loosen them. Are the front right lugs the same way? I could not see the letter 'L' on the end of the lugs.
Thanks,
Abe

I just saw I screwed up. I meant to say, 'Are the left front lugs also left hand thread?'

I know the left rear are, how about the left front.

Fronts are both RH thread. Only the LR dually studs were LH thread.
