Back in the day, we only carried 2 sizes. Big and little, funny that I think about it, but that is what we called em'......lol. 1 of the 2 fit anything that came in the shop. ....

UPDATE:

Ok, i basically found out that there are two basic hole diameter sizes(wasn't really worried about length)----.453" and .625" .

1/2 tons and most cars take the .453" size  and maybe large tractors/specialty equipment take the larger .625" size.  Not sure about 3/4ton and above though?

So 413, 414, 415 etc. should work.
