This topic has probably been done to death but i can't seem to find an answer in my searches. i found the wheel bolt/stud conversion link for the pre 65 mopars. it breaks it all down for the rear axles. i guess the point is to be able to not have to use the special puller on the tapered axles. it gives you the part number for the replacement drum. i get that. i have the tool and it's not exactly convenient but it works. what i can't find here is the best way to do that to the FRONT wheels (without a disk brake conversion) so i can put on a set of cragar rims or supremes and use the lug nuts and washers that come with them. is it the same process? but then what replacement drums would be used?

I think I want to get rid of the old bolts and go with ARP studs and washers, mainly for better thread sealing, assembly alignment, and better torque readings. They also look cool. Would these be compatible with an original cast iron head? I've also read on here mixed opinions of torque values for studs vs bolts. Some have said 55-60 ft-lbs for studs vs the 65-70 ft-lbs for bolts, while others have torqued the studs to OEM specs and had no problem.
