Pitman Arm Nut

Quick question- Can you guys help with what size the Pitman Arm retaining nut to the steering box is on a 1966 F250? Truck isn't close where I can measure it, but trying to round up new tools if I need them. Thanks!

I want to say 1 and 5/16, but I know that a one and one eighth is popular under there

The thread size on my '65 F250 is 7/8" -14. The new nut I bought needs a 1 5/16 socket. The original nut may have needed a smaller socket...I can't remember.

Thanks, guys. Was able to take advantage of a 45 degree February day in Minnesota and crawl under there. Mine took a 1 7/16” socket. Not sure if someone switched it out at some point.
