Anyone know what threads is on the pitman arm nut on a 2wd steering box? Mine didn't come with one and I need to pick one up at the local shop but the box is already on the truck and I don't wanna take it off :D
 
I got one fer ya... they are thin... when I went through inspection I failed because my "NUT" was loose.. :haha:
got home and took it off ... was stripped...

looked around and guess what fit!!!!!
my old d60 front pinion nut :wink1:
was thicker to get more threads on and could crank the living crappola outta it :bow:
 
It's 7/8" x 14 tpi. I got mine at the GM dealership because I couldn't find one anywhere else, including several fastener supply places.

I bought mine at the local Ace hardware, they had a grade 8 nut, and a grade 8 locking washer in stock (I know, technically speaking there is no allowance for locking washers in the grade 8 standard, but its only holding on a pitman arm)
