    Has anyone out there changed the studs on a 10 bolt rear end
    from 7/16 to 1/2 studs? Is it difficult? I have a 67-69 camaro
    10 bolt that I am putting on my 51 1/2 ton.

    10 bolt successfully modified! Opened differential released and remove axles. Drove out old lugs, then using a drill press drilled
    larger holes using a 31/64th bit. I purchased new 324/10.9 lug bolts
    and pressed them in. Now my 10 bolt rearend will sport the same size lugs as my front lugs on the Mustang 2 front end. Also had to drill out the brake drums to make room for the larger lug bolts.
