Steering Whel Nut - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What size is the steering wheel retaining nut? Mine happened to be missing when I bought the truck, so I found out it's kinda hard to put the wheel back on without it. Truck is a '70 non-tilt.

I'm not sure about the internal diameter or thread count, but I remember a 3/4" deepwell socket on a 3" extension and a breaker bar was the weapon of choice for tackling this gripe. So we know the nut size is 3/4" -- the steering shaft has to be about 1/2" or 9/16ths.
LMC lists them as P/N 34-0400 "Nut -Steering Column" for 45 cents.
