What size nut for 2WD sector shaft?

[dremu]

One of those situations where the parts are not in the same place as the person ... do any of y'all know what size nut the 2WD sector shaft takes, to hold the pitman arm on?

Jeez, that is huge. That's the NUT size, or the WRENCH size? I shoulda been clear ... I gotta buy a new nut, ya see.

thats the wrench size. i believe the thread size is 7/8" but not sure

it's a 7/8 or 15/16 threaded nut, but it has ASE threads, it's not your standard fastner pitch. i have 4 wrong ones here ( both fine and coarse 15/16 and 7/8)

It's 7/8-14TPI. Still available at GM for about $8-$9. It's not a regular nut, more like a jamb nut (thinner)
