So the bolts came in today...
3/8-24 it is!
Which is the same as the Jeep.
So... Should I use the XJ Banjo Bolt or The Ford?
Jeep is slightly shorter

Got more work done today:
Swapped to the Waggy pit man arm and bolted the steering up.
The RE trackbar is the perfect length, just need to swap out the bush insert.
I'll finish that tomorrow.

I cleaned up the RE track bar tonight and tightened the super flex joint.
Good as new!
For the busing the RE one was in good shape, so I drilled out the inner diameter with a 1" drill bit. The bolt sleeve was .005 over sized so it's a nice tight fit.
It's dark out now, so I plan on painting it before work tomorrow then I'll take some pictures when I bolt it on after.

Had an appointment this morning so I had a half day at work.
Gave me time to through some paint on this:
Also I answered my own question about the brake lines:
YJ Brake Hoses, 80's Ford Banjo Bolts, & 79 Ford Brake Calipers...
Bolt together just fine!

Drive shaft bolts up with a good amount of slip left.
I think the steering angles look pretty good to.
All that's left now is to finish the radius arms.
