The brake nipples I replaced on my 54 pickup 3 months ago were 3/8 X 24 UNF . I was surprised to find that the old ones (with rusty rounded off hexagons)  that I took out of the cylinders were flat ended with a little steel ball that does the sealing. The replacement items that I bought off ebay had the more commons pointed ends and they went straight in and sealed perfectly.
