Stock lug nuts size

Question for the experienced pros, did the 1953 m38a1 come from the factory with 3/4 or 13/16 inch lug nuts? Looked in the Ord 9 all parts book but it didn't list the OD size just thread size and quantity. Thanks.

Here's a hint. The lug wrench issued with the M38A1 was a size 3/4".

Thanks again Wes

Most of those larger 13/16" hex nuts I have seen have the wrong angle seat for the tapered seat in the wheel. They are also usually too tall and won't leave any stud threads showing.

OK thank you for bringing that up Wes that is good to know. I'll be ordering the 3/4 in. ones.
