So we all know that dodge and gm drw d60 fro t wheel hubs are virtualy identical, But they are not.
the primary issue im having is i want to use 9/16 wheel studs to match my d70hd axles and keep using all the same wheel setups on all my trucks.

The biggest issue is the dodge hubs use 5/8" with a .715 knurl. Far bigger than the gm and so far any 9/16" stud knurl.

The over all goal was to h1 and srw swap the rear for a square stance on a lwb sing cab truck. I can drill the single wheel 14bff hubs to 5/8 but that could/will fuck me on later things.

So ultimately i want find 9/16 studs with .715 or BIGGER knurls. Any ideas or anyone got a good dorman book laying around?
or want to trade dodge for gm drw hubs? Local to norcal/sacramento/redding areas?
 
I just did a quick search on dormans website (which got easier to navigate at some point? You can actually search wheel lug studs now, and filter by things such as knurl diameter and thread diameter), but came up with a max knurl of .682 for 9/16" studs

So I agree, I'd just drill in a new set of holes at whatever clocking you prefer. No need to even weld the old ones
