RE: Wheel seal
I don't know.
Many different chassis can be put under a given truck make. Also , used trucks may have been worked on and had original wheel nuts replaced. A big thing to note if you have begun disassembly is whether the nuts are 6 or 8 sided. Also inner and outer nuts can be of different diameters. Also steer and drive positions will likely be different. Give your vin to an international dealer and they may be able to help you get started. I had a few frustrations before finally getting the correct sizes for my truck and trailer.

RE: Wheel seal
My Eaton-Dana rears take a 6-sided 4" hub nut socket and the hendrickson front end hub nuts on mine require a 6-sided 2.5" socket. I have also seen many that require an 8-sided 4.5" hub nut socket.

Like others have said. You just have to measure it and find out.
