Joe, I have always preferred studs and nuts to fasten a wheel rather than bolts. Studs sure make it easier to mount a wheel and tire assembly, and Packards have heavy ones. The pilot stud that Packard used helps, but there is only one of them. I think your solution to screw in and then weld studs is a good one as you can reuse the brake drum assembly which would otherwise be disposed of.
