Don't have alot of info other than it's a hopeing this whill help tell me what it's out of.
Can't read the numbers on the tube or the tag.
35 spline
single wheel
what puzzles me is that the left wheel studs are left hand thread. I know old jeeps had this. Did any other manufacturers do this?
Three beers to anybody that reconizes this.
Here's one for the attempt :beer:
 
Alot of pre '65 BOP cars had them as well as most(all?) pre '75 Mopars. Ford did it on the Courier pickups in the early 70's. Same goes with the Mazda trucks of the same vintage. Also the last ones I know of are some of the large(over 1 ton) IH trucks.

Is the bolt pattern a standard 8x6.5 or is it a large 6x7.25, 6x8.75, 5x6.875 or 5x8? If it is any of the latter it could be from an old Power Wagon.
 
8x6.5 lug pattern
 
I had a Dana 61 rear that had left hand studs. Had a big "L" on the end of the stud. I took it out of a Ford truck. Not sure if it was factory or not. Seems it was a mid 70s truck.
 
Parted a 76 E-350 that had LH on a Dana 70 once. You can buy straight threaded lugs and replace though if desired. If you stay with reverse thread, just be sure not to loose those nuts! I couldn't find any new ones for sale...
 
Vote # 3 for the E 350 Van. The 70 under my beater Ranger came out of a '79 E350 van,-We could read the tag..... 35spline, left hand studs on the d.side also.
HTH
 
Looks like the vote is in.
