Default 48 truck radiator petcock size - 1/4 male pipe thread

Looks like it's 7RC-8115. (factory V8 radiator)
Anyone know the thread? I'm guessing 1/4 pipe.
Got the driver's side hose fitting resoldered, now the drain leaks....

I have a 51 f3 stock V8 radiator in the garage which I believe is the same as 48. It is 1/4" pipe thread.
