1966 442 front drum wheel stud

I am missing one wheel stud and everything I am finding at the parts store are not correct. The hole for the knurled is a .6 of a inch, the wheel stud at the parts store is a .555 of a inch. It falls in the hole. Anybody out there with any knowledge of where I can find the correct stud.
Appreciate any and all help.

The Dorman catalog (available on-line in PDF form) lists dozens of different wheel studs with dimensional info. Pick one that works. I had to do this with my 62.

You're right - I just looked myself. A 0.6" hole tells me that someone has stripped the knurl. I've had this problem in the past and I just tack welded the stud to the back side of the hub. If the 0.555" knurl is so loose it wobbles, I'd consider one of the Dorman studs with the 0.575" knurl and then tack weld. The alternative is a replacement hub.

all the same

The hole is not stripped or been drilled. I can measure the other studs coming out the edge of hole and you can measure they are bigger. I am considering getting a 1/2" stud and grind the threads off and tap it. It has a bigger knurl area.
