351m crankshaft bolt socket?

Anyone know offhand what kind of socket I need to turn the crank on my 78 F150/351m? I was gonna run out & pick one up tonight but can't find my flashlight or Haynes manual.

Pretty sure its 15/16, you will want a deep well or an extension to clear the crank pulley to go with it.

Crank Bolt Socket...

I know it's a larger size, but I recommend using a 6 point socket too.

If you dont have one, I recomend investing in a good chain wrench too! Makes it a breeze!
