my 66 coronet, and my 68 super bee, are both left handed lug nuts on the drivers side. for my coronet i thought i could press the lefties out and put right in, on that car NO, i cracked the center hub and bent the crap out of the drum, so i scavenged another passernger one (right handed) and put it on. and i works good so far.

Chrysler stopped using the right hand threads on wheel studs in 1970.

70 will be lefty.
If doing a resto, Do yourself a favour and make them rights. Less broken stuff at the tire store.
I've never seen a show judge pull a wheel cover, and look at the end of a stud.
And If you are worried abput that, get a letter punch set, and put L's on your rights, and you have the look you need

As far as changing studs, I have found that the rear studs can be knocked out, or pressed no problem. If the front drums are 11 inch ( several/all I have worked with)the studs could easily be knocked/ pressed in and out using normal back up around the stud location. The 10 inch drums all needed the swedge cut out/ ground out to be able to remove the studs without destroying the hub.
