Bay Window Buses always used studs. Split Windows did not. Vanagons use lug bolts on the front, studs on the rear. So to answer your question, they switched to studs on Aug. 1, 1967.

Nope.
My 68', 69' and 70's all have had lug bolts.

68-70 use Lug Bolts.
71-79 use Lug Nuts. In conjunction with wheel studs. |
