Brake hose help!
5 Attachment(s)
I'm putting ECE drop spindles and Delco calipers on my 67 C10 frame. I would like to find the correct hoses for the front. I purchased 71 hoses, but they appear to be too long. Does anybody know what I should get and where? How long should they be?

Something does not look correct.
I think your cross member is on incorrect. Need to swap it around 180 degrees. The hose mounting bracket on the cross member should be towards the front of the vehicle. See picture of my setup for a 1972 drivers side. Attachment 1653225 |

Its a drum brake truck getting discs on for the first time I would imagine. Hose brackets aren't in the same place I do not think.

Re: Brake hose help!
Drum brake trucks mounted the hoses and lines on the rear side of the crossmember.
When GM went to disc brakes in 71 the entire layout changed and the lines and hoses go to the front of the crossmember. There is absolutely no way the crossmember is backwards. The easy button is calling ECE and telling them you need a pair of front brake hoses for converting a drum truck to discs. They sell special conversion hoses for this exact scenario. |

Glenn,
I'm finding the same issue as you are. I purchased a complete front crossmember and really dropped the ball!! I didn't ask the guy what year truck this crossmember came off of! I ASSumed they were all the same! My truck is a 1972 and the brake hose connection is on the front side of the crossmember, and the one I bought is on the back side. (I kept the old one for reference) The hoses came with the assembly but weren't connected to anything when I picked it up. Only when I went clear through the assembly and attempted to connect the lines did I see the difference. I haven't made the change yet, but the plan is to cut the existing brackets off of each crossmember, and bolt the ones off my original crossmember to my new one. The plan is to do this swap this weekend... I'll check back and see what you came up with for a workaround and hopefully have pictures to share. |
Re: Brake hose help!
I just did a disc brake conversion on my 68. The brake hoses you need are part number 88466 at autozone. $9.95 each, they are the same ones ece sells for $50 a pair. They connect directly to your existing brake lines and your new calipers with no adapters needed.

Now can you help me with the proportioning valve and the rear hose to connect the 71 rear end? |

I picked up the hoses from Autozone. Attachment 1653342 Attachment 1653343 Thanks for the tip on the adapters. I'll Run up to CPP today to get them. Where did you get the proportioning valve? I have this brass one. Attachment 1653351 Attachment 1653352 |
Re: Brake hose help!
Does anybody know what brake hose I need to install my 72 rearend in my 67 frame? The stock hoses are way too short.

Although, my neighbor has a 75 K10 and his hose looks pretty short for my needs as well. Attachment 1653363 |

After some filing on the bracket, I was able to get the hose flange to fit.

Re: Brake hose help!
I did the kids 67 the same way your doing it.
Then when I started mine I figured I would eliminate the small issuses and just use a complete 71-2 c member. Glad I did as everything fit together so much easier and I dodnt have too figure out which parts fit what. I save every fitting I can off anything as long as it's still useable. Oe fittings are much better quality than replacement ones and they clean up easy and fit new lines perfect if you can flare them. There is a few odd ball fittings, that one in the back of the valve can be one of them. |

Yesterday, I took my proportioning valve and brake line to the local Hose Man and they ordered the correct adapter fittings for me. I'll get them on Tuesday. I was going to get them at CPP yesterday, but they close at noon and I wasn't ready. |
Re: Brake hose help!
I ordered the complete set of hardlines from Inline tube as well as the three flexible lines.
I'm having trouble getting the manifold on the rear brake line to connect to the hardline! They aren't the same size! I'm also finding that the banjo bolt for the front won't thread into the rotor... I made a huge mistake thinking that the front crossmembers were all the same. I bought one that was rebuilt already and failed to ask the young man what year truck it was off of*** I've noticed that the mounting tab for the connection between the hard line and hose is on the opposite side of the one on my 72, so I'm pretty sure it's not off of a 72! I'm going to have to call Inline tube and see if I can figure out what I have because I can't get ahold of the guy I bought the parts from... If anybody reading this knows him or how to contact him that would be greatly appreciated. His name is Andres Ham, he lived in Spring Texas when I bought the assembly. Otherwise anything that would help with identifying what I have would be appreciated as well! :whine: Can someone post pictures of the way this manifold block over the differential is mounted please! What I took off was a stud style bolt that was one of the differential cover bolts. The new block I bought has a much larger hole through it, and it doesn't look like it's close enough to mount in the original location. |
