lug nut size

Several years ago I picked up a 1996 F350 2wd dual rear wheel cab and chassis that I'm using for a project and the front wheels had lug nuts that take a 7/8" socket where the rear wheels had lug nut that take a 1 1/16" socket..
which nuts would be correct ..?

I have owned several 80-90"s F350"s and they all had 1 1/16'' lugs. The dually nuts should have a washer on them.

All these nuts have the washer, I want them all the same on the truck and just wanted to know which ones I should match up.. I figured the dually's had the larger size . This truck was in an accident and they put a cab from a 95 single rear wheel axle and was thinking that was where the smaller nuts came from. Thanks..

The smaller nuts just save weight
Yours should have had the 7/8 from the factory IIRR
Use whichever ones you want
