Cool lug nut size? please, help with advice.

Can anyone tell me the size lug nuts/lug wrench I need to take the wheel off?
Wheel is the drivers rear, truck is an 84 swb. And as always thanks in advance.

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

You said that with SWB, but to answer your real question..."It depends". The factory original lug nuts could be a different size than some aftermarket custom. They should be either 3/4 or 13/16.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
