Spindle Rethreader Die Size

Hi Folks, I'm finishing up a rolling chassis on a 70 and was installing the bearing hubs onto the front spindles and noticed a couple of damaged threads on one of the spindles. The nut fit on but trouble tightening. I want to get a die to rethread the spindle. I know the rear spindle die size is 3/4-20 but cannot find what size die is needed for the front. Can someone help?

Might be easier and cheaper to just buy a thread file. They're handy as a shirt pocket for galled threads.

Use plenty of grease while testing the nut whle filing the threads to get the nuts started on the axle.
Clean the grease and metal filings off the axles tbreads...then regrease the threads before re-testing the nut.
