Any one know what kind of locking hub socket a 78 uses? The only one I found was at AutoZone but it's for a 95-96 F-150. I can't seem to find one for the older models like mine. Any ideas? Thanks1

Please don't pull out in front of me! The last thing I want to do is play identify the pieces with you or your car.

Does it have the 4 little teeth on it. I think these trucks all use the same socket. If you do get one, get a snap-on or lisle socket. They don't tend to strip out like the others do.

People who say it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

No...it's a rounded hex type socket. The parts guy said it might be one with the 5-6 teeth on it but he wasn't sure.
