I have a 1939 JC 1/2 ton and am trying to get the part number of any of the several speed bleeders made. I searched, but only found that information for the later trucks and I do not know if it is the same. If anyone knows the size and thread pitch, that could work too (is it 3/8 x 24?). I appreciate your help as I am trying to avoid having to go to the parts store or online order a part while the truck is on stands.
Thanks again,
j

I can remove the bleeder screw and check the size and thread pitch in my garage, but I am hoping just to get the right parts and do the job without interruption to go buy parts. Leaking brake fluid would be annoying too, though I suppose it'll be leaking from the wheel cylinder when I change the bleeder screws, so . . .
