So I finally got into tearing apart my rear D70.. and on one side, the lugnuts are reverse threaded!

So, I have a few questions about this:

a) WTF?
b) WTF!!?
c) Why?
d) anyone seen this before?
e) WTF??!?!

I sure spent a lot of time tightening those bastards before I figured it out! hehe

I believe it was only the early 1980 F-250's that had them... but yeah, pretty common, mopar did that shit for ever, and GM's did alot in the 60's, along with many, many big rigs..

It's the same reason the drivers side spindle nut it luft hand thread on a sterling.... to keep shit from backing off due to tire rotation.

All duece and half's are this way.

Also, my parents had a '85 F-250 Van that was this way. I had a blow out on it one day and just before I was gonna call a tow truck, I tried it left handed and it was no biggy:p
THis was a Sterling 10.25
