Lug nut question

I have a 1972 F250 4 x 4 that I’m changing the wheels out on who can tell me what the lug thread and pitches for this truck so I can order some online. Thanks.

1/2" -20 Lug Nut is the same: Misc 1932/90's FoMoCo Passenger Cars // 1932/47 Ford Commercial // 1948/52 F1/F3 // 1953/96 F100/250 // 1961/2013 Econoline // 1966/96 Bronco

Why can't you just use the lug nuts that are already on the truck.?

because the truck has some crap aluminum wheels that have lugs with a straight shoulder not the acorn style. I could but they’d never center

One question about those wheels, what did they come off of? If they were on a truck with the larger late model lugs, i think they are 5/8" or 9/16" you may need to get the special 1/2"-20 large lug nuts.
