Default replacing wheel stud - what length/thread type?

This is for a 76. I just need to pick up a wheel stud from the parts store and install. Anyone know what length and thread type. I'd like to know exactly what I need instead of taking it to a shop.

Thanks.

The knurl on your stock studs is .430, thread is 7/16 fine but I also don't know the length.

i got some generic 'replacements' from the parts store and the knurl was too loose in the hub for my liking. so i ordered replacements from Zip and they fit perfectly. needed 3-4 tonnes to install.
