: : 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. Why the heck didn't _I_ think of that????? Thanks a million! Now I just hope I don't hear a glass bottle poppin' under one of those 8.25x20"'s.....
