My '70 has the RH and LH ones and IIRC, '70 was the last year for it.

70 sounds right. Our 71 Duster 340 had RH lugs all around.

My 72 Scamp is all RH...the guy above saying 1970 was the last year for LH&RH I believe is correct!

Got time for a funny story? "Back when" a Chibby friend of mine called me up, "you got a good hot impact wrench?" Yup, I says, whaddya got?

"I' takin' off a wheel, can NOT get the lugs off, can I bring it out there? I took the front drum and hub off complete."

Yea, says I, bring 'er on

So he comes out there, and I take one look at the wheel and hub, and I say, "This off a Mopar?"

"yep"

"Which side of the car?"

(Dumb, REAL dumb look, dark cloud passes by)

THAT'S IT!!! LEFT HAND THREAD!!

I believe during the '71 model year LH lugnuts were phased out. I parted out a '71 Dodge Sportsman that had LH lugnuts.

My '72 Duster 340 had right and left hand lugnuts when it came from the factory.

Yeah I seem to remember my '71 charger 500 having LH and RH lugs but I know my '71 GTX only has RH lugs.
