I bought a  8 3/4 rear end housing and axles for my 70 Barracuda. Were the studs for the lug nuts, left hand thread?  I was trying to chase the threads and noticed they were left hand threads (verified with a LH die). My 7 1/4 rear end has right hand threads. I measured the axles and the housing to be sure they were correct. The axles are 30 in from flange to splines, it has 30 splines. The housing is 46 in center to center on the spring perch and 56.5 in length, flange to flange. I still need to get a third member. Thanks in advance.

The left axle had left hand threaded studs in 70 only , all other years useed right hand on both sides .
FYI Freightliner still uses left hand threads on the left side being part of Chrysler for years !
