Does anybody know what size socket is used on a Dana 70 in a 68 f350?

Thanks in advance

I don't remember what size it was, but you will need a thin wall socket like the one pictured. A regular socket won't fit inside the axel housing.

The socket is available from several vendors, including Amazon, which is where I got mine from:
