Open end with steelies & caps.

The others are for optional styled Road and Rallye wheels.

Thread will be 1/2 - 20 with the stock studs, and require either a 3/4" or 13/16" socket.

almost all chrysler products used 3/4" hex nuts. ford used the 13/16" hex.
way back in my junkyard days, it was apparent air wrenches would over tighten the lugnuts, and somewhat make the wheel hole try to swallow the nut.
we used the ford nuts to give a little extra contact area to secure the wheel.
the only drawback to that, ford never used left hand nuts, so this was limited to be used on 71 [?] and up.

right rocky. i left the imperials out, because most here will be doing just a, b, and c bodies.
the 3/4 ton pickups with the 8 bolt wheels also used 13/16" nuts if i remember right.

If the lug nut holes are worn from use, you can use 60 degree tapered bulge seat lug nuts like these:

They're also available as acorn lug nuts. hope this helps.

i was going to suggest those bulge seat nuts as well.
no one will know if you are using a wheel cover or hub cap.
