: Ok, my IH army truck has lug bolts that allow a guy to put duals on the wheels if he wanted to. The first wheel is held on with a lug bolt and there is a small protruding lip that the wheel catches on and this is what keeps it on. The second wheel is held on by a lug nut that screws onto a set of threads that are on the outside of the bolts. As of right now, I have to change one of my front tires but cannot because the the bolt is has a SQUARE head instead of a hex. I've have been told by many people that these bolts are called "budds", but unfortunately I haven't had any one of those many people inform me as to where I could get a socket to fit them. So I checked with most of the auto parts places in town and most of them had never even heard of them (and we trust people like this with our cars???). I plan to check CT today. Would CT have them? If CT doesn't, where can I get them? The bolt head is a 13/16". Are these sockets available as impact sockets? Any help will be greatly appreciated. First place I'd try is NAPA. You might go talk to the people at your nearest Goodyear Store ( or other tire shop that does big tires ) they might even loan you a socket to change this one, that will buy you time to find one to buy. Good luck.
