There's two things you can try. The first is to visit the dealer's parts department and have them look up that part. They should be able to find the size and thread pitch. Don't expect them to have memorized what other applications use the same bolt unless one of their people used to be a mechanic and is familiar with brake systems on all the other models. Replacement bolts aren't a commonly-asked-for part, so they won't know the specifics about it without looking it up.
The second choice is to take an old bolt to an auto parts store and see if they can look up a "Heli-Coil" repair kit. That's not the type of information they provide on their web sites. You'll have to go right to the store. Heli-Coil inserts are designed to repair stripped-out threads in the part the bolt is going into. The kit includes the correct size drill bit to drill out the damaged threads, and it includes the proper tap to make new, larger-diameter threads in that hole. The last step is to thread in one of the stainless steel inserts with a special tool. That insert leaves you with new threads of the original diameter and pitch as the original ones were. All you need is to find the listing in one of their books that tells which kit is required for your bolt, then, the bolt size will be listed on that kit and probably in the book too.
If the bolt threads are not damaged, they also have gauges to measure the bolt. Hardware stores will have those gauges too, but they might not have replacements of the same hardness.
You might also look for a Dodge Raider. That was an unpopular model that wasn't around very long, and I remember it was an import model with Dodge emblems plastered on it. It looked just like the Trooper.
