Those. Back in the day when Mopar had a thing for left handed lugnuts
more than one stud got snapped off with the application of a breaker bar
and 4' of pipe. iirc, the rear brake drum was held on the axle by a
large left-handed nut too. Or maybe I'm just remembering the pain of
using a puller to get the drum assembly off the taper.
My family had a 63 Dodge with left handed lug nuts on one side of the car. I don't recall which side. o_O
