Lug nut thread

[Gordon Maney]

Does anyone here know the thread designation for the lug nuts and studs? Is it 3/4-16? I realize some are RH and some LH, but are the diameter and pitch 3/4 and 16 tpi?

Gordon, this is how the army's supply manual ORD 8 SNL G-741 dated January 1957 lists the studs:

For my front winch retaining bolts/nuts I used the wheel RH Lug Nuts and some off the shelf fine thread 3/4" bolts.

What kind of winch is that? Is it electric?
I have thought of rigging up an electric winch but did not want it to look like a JC WHITINY lash up.
I looked into getting a Braden PTO winch but that involves a good deal of money and work since my truck never had a winch.
If I could find one that looks like it belongs I would be happpy. Yours looks like it was made for the truck.

Yep, 12Volt Warn M12000

FWIW installing a PTO winch isn't really that much work, and I'd bet that Warn winch costs almost as much as al the parts needed for a original setup.

Hmm, fits nice, does not look like a JC Whitiny lash up and it took care of your bent section of bumper.

With it sitting under the grill like that can you reach the controls ok?

Yes, after I shortened the lower grill section so the bottom lined up with the fenders and provided the minimal clearance needed.

It looks very nice.

You won't take that out and get any mud on it, will you?

[Kaiser2boy]

OK thanks. Very good.
