69 C10, Front Discs and Speed Bleeders - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's the deal - I bought a kit several years ago from GMC Pauls. Had springs, rotors, McGaughys drop spindles, etc. The other day I looked up the part # for speed bleeders for a 72 C10, front disc and ordered them. They do not fit.

First off, I am guessing that the calipers that come in these kits are just OEM calipers? From the 72-ish trucks (or whenever they started building them with front discs)?

Next, Russell's website lists the same part number for 67-72, front and rear, no different part number for front drums. My second assumption here is that they are listing the drum bleeders and stating they are for disc since the numbers are all the same.

Does anybody know the Russell part number or at least the thread size for these calipers so I can get my speed bleeders?
