Banjo bolt - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Ok I searched - and all indications are that this question is probably annoying. I'll try to make it less so.

I have Chevy calipers on my 5 lug D44 and need to replace them. Went and got new (reman) calipers for a '79 Blazer, 4wd, 350, etc...

The "new" calipers have a 10x1.5mm banjo bolt hole. The old ones are 7/16x20. Since I don't want to replace the SS brake lines, I need to find calipers that are 7/16.

Question: does anyone know the year/model for that spec? The store manager at the local Kragen looked at me like I'm nuts. Told me just to replace the banjo bolt and the lines would tighten enough...

Thanks!
Paul

AFAIK the cuttoff year was 77. Get some from an older truck.
