Default 1991 f-250 7.3 front axle spindle nut socket? Help.

Well, I have called just about everywhere, did some online homework, but can not pin point the exact spindle nut socket needed to remove the front lock in hubs. I do believe I have the dana 50 ttb front axle, please let me know if I'm wrong. And what exact spindle nut socket goes with. I did pick up the biggest one napa carried but it was just a little to small. It was a few weeks ago, and I can't remember what all axles it was said to work on. Due to working out of town (pain in the a$*) I haven't been able to further research an also forgot some crucial info. With that being said, I believe it said that it would work on most dana axles. Also I called my local ford dealer, they also couldn't tell me jack, not even a part #. Please let me know guys.
Thanks in advance.

Ps. as to say it's hard to believe that no parts stores or dealer knows!!

Thank you, please let me know a part number, also I have not tried harbor freight. I live a good distance from the nearest one to me, but I will be giving them a call, I did look online amazon and eBay. They had whole sets on there for like 70$. But I hate to buy a whole set when I just need one. But anyway, please let me know, Thanks.

The outter one is tight and the inner one can be loosened up typically by hand

That is correct, the D50 uses D60 outer ends, everything from the knuckles out is the same. I have the socket as well, but I have an assortment of them, one for the D44, the D50/60, and you also need one for the sterling rear axle.
