Rear shock upper mount nut size???

Does anyone know the size of the rear shock upper mount nut size? Over the last year and a half of working on my truck, I have lost mine, and have no clue what it is.

I think its a special nut, you can get new upper shock mounting hardware individually from the parts store cheap.

Just changed the rear shocks in my 82 C10. OE shocks had a built-in stud. Aftermarket upper stud looks like this. Both are 5/8"-18 on frame side.
