Hub locking nut sockets

On my 79 F350 4x4 what lock nut sockets do I need to get for my Dana 60 front and Dana 60 full floating rear ? I used to have one for a Dana 44 with 4 pins but loaned it to someone a long time ago ??????

Hi. I remember you saying that . It is on the list and the list is long.
I just found a good cab and parts to work on . I want to get rid of the rear blocks but keep 6in lift. Also need shocks . So it's a project. Thanks

I have front and rear sway bars. Dana 60 front and rear . I think the correct f350 spring packs. And f350 badges but the frame is a F26 and the tins been changed in the past . But it's a beast! It was a mess I been working on in best I could !
