bambamshere Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know where one might find the studs for the differential pan. They are 7/16 studs with coarse thread that goes into the diff housing and fine thead on pan side. I did see some on Summit site but they seem long to me. It looks like someone took a hammer to mine and bent a few of the studs and mushroomed the top of them. Plus does anyone no if they are class 8 studs. It is a 12 bolt diff Edited July 11, 2020 by bambamshere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a 12 bolt diff Local parts stores can source them. If they are bent they wont be any tougher than grade 5. No reason to use studs.bolts will do the same job. I had a diff out of a 50 chevy 1 ton and bolts are used. a little bit of a task, but they can be made as well. Grade 5 coarse bolt with shank long enough to cut head off and run a fine thread die down shank. Double nut on coarse thread to lock it into vise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only need a couple of studs to make the installation easier. Hang the case on those and use bolts for the rest.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerman51 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Contact Vintage Power Wagons in Fairfield Iowa or Midwest Military in Minnesota. They should have the studs. Part number is 929855. Give them this number. I would think those studs are grade 8. That 8&3/4” third member weights around 70 Lbs or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I’m sure that I would have some at the shed here in Oz if you get stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambamshere Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Sorry just got all off these posts. I thought when I got a reply to one of my post it sent a email. Guess I have it one once a week. Anyways I did find some studs. Shoulds I be using grade 8 nuts the studs. Because I bought grade 5 and already went around it.

Tooljunkie Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Grade 5 will be fine. 45 foot lbs for coarse thread, 50 for fine thread. For the price and peace of mind, you could buy grade 8. If you were to look at the technical data on fasteners, its suprising what you learn, clamp force and shear strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambamshere Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I put grade 5 bolts on it. It isn"t leaking but if it does I will put the grade bolts on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
