speed bleeders

just wondering if anyone has installed a set of speed bleeders on a 2004-2008 f150 4x4...
I put a set on my 92 5.0 LX and they work great...
just don't see any online that say they fit my truck...
I think I have found ones that fit just not 100% sure...
I believe the bleeder screws are M10 X 1.0 threads X 35MM LONG

any if would behelpful

I guess I could call summit, jegs or russell...

FYI...I bought and used a motive one man bleeder over the weekend and I think it sucks...OH well...$50 to learn a lesson...

Was that one man tool one of those hand held vacuum pumps? I had one years ago and it was a P.O.S. Speed bleaders are nice, but will you be bleeding the brakes on your truck that often that you can't just find a friend to help you out for 20 minutes?

the one man brake bleeder was a pump/canister that connects to the master cylinder...
the first bleeder screw I opened the fluid came out fairly quick but after that the fluid just didn't seem to want to come through the system...
I looked at a hand vacume pump online from phoenix systemps I saw on speed channel
but it was like $125...it actually suck the fluid out of the bleeder screw...

as far as the speed bleeders...I like the stainless steel ones for the durability and strenght...even with someones help it makes bleeding way easier...
