Sorry Corky,

International Scouts also had left and right hand lug nuts.
I had a wheel come off due to the lug nuts being put on by
someone that didn't know this. Felt they might be stripped
so they didn't tighten them any further.

Was a wild turn when the passenger side front tire came off!

I pounded out the studs on the passenger side and put the
normal studs all around.

That would be the left or drivers side of the vehical. One of
Chrysler's committments to better engineering. :-/

The idea was that if a lugnut was loose, the rolling motion of the
wheel on the road would tend to keep the nut from actually turning
itself off the lug.

No other auto manufacturer thought it a snarky enough idea to copy it,
ever.
