Front Dana 44 pinion nut??

Doing a SAS dana 44 from a 79 f150 into a 1994 f150. Did a 4:10 gear swap but need a new pinion nut. I have tried buying and ordering several but can not get the right one. How do I find the thread specs or the right pinion nut. Seems so simple but is giving me fits as I do not want to mess up the threads and need to re set the gears and cost me a ton more money.

The bolt that threads onto the lower attachment point of the trac bar goes right on the pinion but none of the ones I've purchased.



Thanks for any help.

Are the threads different from the other pinion?

Being a 4X4 you know both differentials must have the same ratio.
