Bleeder caps are a worthwhile investment. They keep the water, brine, salt, dirt, and other road crud out of the bleeders.
I'm not sure that GM put them on stuff in the 70's & 80's my vehicles never had them when I got them.
I picked up bleeder caps off the German vehicles, mostly VW, in the salvage yards and put them on my American iron back then. The bugs, hippie vans, fastbacks, Rabbits, etc all usually had them.
The ATE caps that look like this seem to put up with the environment better than some others.
