2004 FX4 front axle nut size?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to find what size the front Axle-to-hub nut is on my 2004 F150 FX4. I had the wheel off the other day and I noticed it was missing...I know the 2WD is 36mm head size, but I'm not sure what size it is on the 4WD axle. I need to find a new nut to put on it as I'm not replacing the CV axles, since they're working fine. I don't want to take my other one off in this cold weather just to get a size, and risk breaking something. I cannot find it anywhere online, everything I find is just for the 2WD. It's called the axle-to-hub nut or axle-to-wheel nut or something. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

What is the thread pitch though? He says a 13m head but what is the thread pitch? That's what I need to know more than anything. Thanks for the replies

"He"?

Umm .. buy/rent/borrow a thread pitch gauge? Every feller wif a toolbox and at least one wrench should have one of these already....
