Re: [FWDLK] Just curious.....

John,
   I am far from an expert, but I have parted out at least eight 59
Plymouths, and the great majority have all been lugbolts all around, with LH
threads on one side and RH threads on the other.  I was told (and have read)
that it was a safety thing;  the Chrysler engineers thought being that
various torques and twists as you drove would loosen RH threads. The idea
was abandoned in the 60s. I have found one drum on a 59 that was lugBOLTS,
but I decided that was some previous owner's switcheroo for whatever reason.
What does mopar Mel have to say on this?
