Hi guys i have a 78 f150 4x4, i'm looking for the size of the spindle nut so i can rent the correct spindle nut socket. The front end is a Dana 44.

Thanks

It is not really any size, it is a specialty socket with 4 prongs, and not a hex. You can spend as little or as much on them. SOme have even made them from ABS pipe.
It is totally worth it to invest in your own.
Here, these are cheap:

Ah heck, he's just as stupid about them as I am. :/
He wants you to tell him which one instead of him knowing ahead of time.
Just rent them all! ;) (it's free)
And if the price is right, buy the one that fits best? ;)

I couldn't agree with "75" more.
