Basically, at what point did ford change wheel nut sizes and what were they before and after, i know that 94 twin rear wheelers have a different style of wheel nut than mine and the n/s are not left hand threads ... thats about as far as my knowledge goes with wheel nuts :P

Early tranny's had 2 different wheel nuts depending on the size of the vehicle.

as a quick rule, 5 studs on single wheels were 19mm (3/4") and 6 studs twin wheels were 24mm (15/16")

in about 91 with the introduction of the 92 model and the N/S nuts became right hand threaded. a 19mm nut was still used on 5 stud wheels.

Now current Transit uses a 21mm socket on everything
