Allen head brake caliper bolts

Hey everyone...quick question! What size allen wrench is needed to remove the brake caliper bolts on my '79 GMC? Hopefully someone can let me know quickly so I can borrow the right one and get back to work... Thanks!

Here's a tip: For sizing allen heads, just stick bolt heads in the holes until you find one that fits. 3/8" is 3/8"!

I just get the bag out of the tool box and keep trying till I find one that fits.
