That should be left hand thread on the left side (Driver's side in North
America) and right hand thread on the right side (Passenger's side in North
America) The luig bolts on my '55 are even marked with an

Subject: Re: [FWDLK] lug nuts 1956
Mopar? I’m not sure how much this will help, but I think they
are 13/16” socket size, with a 9/16” hole. But two things I am more sure
about: The lugs on the right side are left hand thread, and the ones on the left
side are right hand threads; and the front are bolts, into holes and the rear
are nuts, screwed over studs. I think it was the signs of Chrysler Corp
having all the best and most safety and performance character traits of the
generation. I remember when Chrysler introduced it’s Electronic Ignition,
ahead on GM. I know the Pontiac had a form of electronics, but Chrysler made it
for the full line. Chrysler’s “Alternators” were also a sign of the
ingenuity shown by the engineers. The basic idea for the lug bolts &
nuts was to “force the bolts & nuts to tighten, or keep tight, the nuts or
bolts on each side of the cars”. The idea came from overzealous engineers that
time, but all of the Chrysler brands would brag about the “extra
safety”.
