I'd bring the stud to a place like Fastenal and match it up and get all 4.
What year is the truck? I think I have some in the garage from an 05. The hubs changed in 05 so 03-04 may be different.

I just measured a 2005 hub. It uses a 21mm socket.
14 x 1.50mm locking flange nut

What brand hub did you get? I have bought many and about half are missing the nuts. Call your parts guy and ask .if I'm in a hurry I just get them from the dealer if I have to. Google your part number and look at the picture.

All 4 studs are there though. I can look again.

Your Chinese hub's studs maybe different from stock. Do you have a fastener store near you?

I checked their website and they didn't have a listing for 14 x 1.50 mm flange nuts. That's why I listed that other site.
