Bleed the brakes

I went to bleed the brakes on my 68 C10 today. The front wheels took a 3/8s wrench and the back wheels took a 5/16. Is that normal for the front and back to take different size wrenches to bleed the brakes or did someone put the wrong wheel cylinders in at some point?

Re: Bleed the brakes

Some on my 72 are different from left to right. Think it's just whatever the aftermarket bleed screw suppliers slap on there.

Re: Bleed the brakes

Those sizes are correct for the front and rear on that truck

Thanks Reeds 72, I just figured they would use the same size.
