    Reverse threads?

    Hi all,
    I'm sure this has been covered before but I cant seem to find this info:
    I have a '63 LeSabre with 1 wheel that has "L" stamped on the ends of the wheel studs and the other 3 wheels have "R" stamped on the ends of the studs. I cant remember which ones are reversed threads. I apologize in advance for my lameness!

    The last year for left hand threads for Buick was '63, & this was only on the left side, front & rear. In '64 Buick started using right hand threads on all wheels.

    Someone may have swaped out one set of the left handed studs on that side if if they have an R stamped on them.
