Re: Front brake hoses too short for 2.5" drop spindles?

Noticed something odd when I did the PS. Apparently the DS and PS hoses use a different thread size?

The stock 71/72 brake hoses I bought were threaded for a 7/16-24 on the Driver's side and 3/8-24 on the PS. The hoses are side specific, so maybe this was so they got installed on the correct side of the truck?

The hoses I got have a universal end and can be used on either side, and both sides were the 3/8-24 thread size, so I didn't need the adapter on the PS.
