Nuts? Dash Pad

Anyone happen to know the proper size nut for the studs that hold the dash pad to the dash?

Wait, you want to know the nut size. I gave you the wrench size.

The nuts for the pad might be a machine thread but I don't know exactly what size they are. I can tell you that they use the same size nut that the dentside molding uses.

I recently took the dash off my 79 F150 parts truck. The thread size is 10x32 which is fine and the wrench size is 11/32 or a 9 mm should fit. It's between a 5/16 and a 3/8

Nope, but thanks. I have'em, but I had tacked the pad up along time ago with one nut holding it in place, The parts bags was missplaced, so I wanted to be able to find what I needed without having to take the pad back off. Ranger helped me, as I had a piece of trim that I could use to find the right nut. Thanks guys.
