anyone know the thread size and pitch of ford wheel studs?

12x1.25?

It depends which Ford!!

12x1.5mm if they are metric which is mark 2 escort onwards.

As above Mk1 was 7/16" UNF --- some very late MK1 are metric

Cortina went metric in 1970 with the Mk3

One point to note is that the studs are interchangeable. Therefore, if you have 7/16's you can change them to metric.
