Front brake flexi hoses fitment change thru model year? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been looking for replacement flexis and I've noticed that some outlets list '73-'78 and '79-'87 differently. Was there a change in thread pitch or from UNF/UNC to metric?

Yes, I believe that was right around the time when GM changed from standard to metric threads on the banjo bolts that attach the flex lines to the calipers.

The earlier banjo bolts have 7/16"-20 threads while the later ones are M10-1.5.

Then it would appear that I have one of each - 7/16-20 on the left...
