I'm replacing the rear shocks with aftermarket shock/spring assy. As you may know the factory shocks have the nut welded to the shock body that the bolt just screws into. The aftermarket shocks don't have welded nut and so I'm just wondering what size nut would I need for the shock bolt to screw into? For reference if you click on the link below, I'm talking about this bolt pictured number 17 and it screw into that nut.

The old ones may not be welded either by the time you get it apart.

The bolt is 10mm...the nut needs to be the same.....I'll guess 1.25 thread pitch.

A thought: While you are at the store, just go to the nut and bolt bin and pick out a set of new bolts and nuts that match each other. That way you don't need to worry about matching up the original hardware, toss it all aside and start fresh.
