should be a 2 9/16 round Hex socket.All F100/150's & Bronco's have 5 lug wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle. Dana 60's use 8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle.
1975/79 F250 4WD's were available with a Dana 60 front driving axle, it was standard equipment with the snow-fighter package in 1978/79 F250 4WD's.
1979 F350 4WD's came with Dana 60's front and rear.

No Bronco of any year came with a Dana 60 front driving axle. 1966/79 Bronco's came with Dana 44 front driving axles as did 1959/76 F100 4WD's and 1975/79 F150 4WD's.

Can we confirm for OP the spindle locknut size?
With the60 error, I had in my head what alot of guys swapped to back in the day. Then I walked out to the man cave and looked at the axles i have under the bench and realized they were 44's. Again, my bad

I have a couple home made ones,the four prong made with key stock on pipe and the hex made with 1/8 x 1 flat bar bent around to form socket.Those are generally not that tight so home made stuff works fine.
