Pull one off & take it into the store to match up. Most parts stores can look it up on their computers. If not, open a pack that looks right & test it in place of the one you removed.

Checked the lugs on hubs I pulled off this weekend from a '95 F-150 4WD:

Bolt Size = 1/2;
Threads per inch = 20 (UNC Course);
Major Bolt Diameter = 1/2"
Length of bolt beyond hub face = 1 5/16"

Hope this helps.

Jerry

An 89 F-150 should have the old Ford standard of 1/2"-20 threads. It is what they used on everything under 3/4 ton before they went to metric sized threads.
