After removing the strut rods from my Valiant I noticed some pretty nasty rolled threads on one. Explained why it was so hard to take the nut off, but now I need to fix it. What's the thread size? I have the fine threaded ones, and for sake of those searching in the future, we may as well get the thread size of the large threaded ones too. Thanks Mopartiers!!!

K-frame end - 5/8-11

ps, these is the size for B + E bodies. I don't know if the A bodies are different or not

I thought I've seen A-bodies with booth fine and coarse threads on the bushing end. Certain year cutoffs? I'm I dreaming and they are all fine thread?  
According to other threads I researched there are both fine and course threads on A-body strut rods. In fact on one thread there was a guy with a Demon where somewhere in the car's past one strut rod was replaced so he had one fine threaded one and one course threaded one.

Same goes for torsion bar adjuster bolts. Fine and course thread.
