Need help with the banjo bolt any other brake line fitting for 1 ton GM calipers? Is it 3/8 by 24 thread, 7/16 by 24 or something else???

Have a pair of large GM calipers for a 14 bolt disk brake conversion. Look to be one ton calipers. The threaded brake line fittings appear to be banjo bolt style - but the thread pitch and banjo retaining indentions in the caliper are different than what I have for my old 1/2 ton GM calipers. Finer threaded pitch for the 1 ton versus the 1/2 ton - and can't use the 1/2 ton hoses.

I need to know what P/N or exact dimension to use at auto parts - buy the banjo bolts - verify fit - and then race down to the brake line shop tomorrow to get my new hoses made!!!
 
Do what I did: take them down to the local NAPA and have them pull out the big tray of banjo bolts and go thru them till you find the ones that fit.

Yeah I know, I know - am trying to avoid having to pull off tires (as this is how I'm moving around the damn axle) and pulling caliper. Slammed at work and time has been at a premium, so just looking for a list of suggestions - buy the sizes I think makes sense, take em home and test fit...
