Just knock one out and take it down to the local NAPA or other hardware store and they should have them on hand. Are you staying left handed or going to right hand? Either way most parts stores should have them and they are not that expensive, you can have them right now, and you don't have to pay shipping .. otherwise check rockauto.com

Be advised that the fronts are 'trapped' in place. Clean the area around the stud and you'll see what I'm talking about. The metal around it base of the stud is pressed or swaged against the drum holding the drum and hub good and tight and if you just try and slam the old studs out, you will do damage to the drum so it's best to grind clearance around them before beating on them. On the rear axles, you can just knock them out. The rear drums are slip on.

Didn't know that about front drums Cranky.
If you have rotors up front they just pound out, I did mine when I got new rotors they where both RH so switched one to LH, Napa had them in stock just bring one with you.
