Spindle nut socket PN needed

I'm in the midst of replacing a leaking rear wheel cylinder along with a bad rear axle seal on my 1975 F250 Highboy.
I have visited three different auto part stores as well as Harbor Freight and I cannot locate the appropriate spindle nut socket with rounded edges to address the rear spindle nuts.
I did remove the nuts with my air chisel but I want the socket for replacement/torque purposes.
Looking for a PN, a place to purchase the correct socket or perhaps a loan from someone who purchased and is willing to share it.
Thanks in advance.

If yours is 2 9/16" like my 72 highboy, check out https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wmr-w83245.

X2 on 2 9/16 THIN WALL, 1/2" drive. Summit's price is WAY BETTER, but Oreilly's might have it on the shelf.

Better get you a front one also. This one has the pins on the inside and locks on better than the one with the pins on the outer edge.

Ordered one from Amazon- will be here tomorrow.
O"Reillys, NAPA, Pep Boys and Auto Zone were all a bust along with Freight Harbor.
I'm just pi$$ed off that a $6 oil seal took out my rear brakes(pads are soaked and ruined) and is costing me 20X that $6 to repair it.

Like any job, with the proper tool it is not that bad. I do not like getting that deep into a rear Dana 60 axel either. Are you sure the seal face/axle shaft is ok? Might be time for a speedy sleeve?
