Ryan,
If you have stock small bolt pattern rear axles you can buy Moroso 7/16 Chevy application studs and beat/press them in. I used to sacrifice an open end lug nut to use as a driver to pull them through and get them tight. A press works much easier.. they might let you slide on the long front studs, and I think you can skip the rears IF, and only if.... the slicks are on steel stock-type wheels. It's best to ask the tech guys.
BBP would use 1/2 inch.
The driveshaft loop is required with slicks and is a good idea anyway.
