Re: Brake line help

I put a 74 K10 drive train under my 59. I used lines from NAPA from the proportioning valve to the frame at the calipers and rear end. I used Russel braided lines from that point to the caliper and stock line on the rear end housing. I did it with one coupling joint on each side for the back runs. I used the stock line from the MC to the proportioning valve, modified to fit. The MC and proportioning valve are mounted under the driver seat next to the frame hot rod style. Because the MC sits higher than the calipers and rear wheel cylinders in a 4wd set up no check valves are required. My build thread has photos. The line from NAPA comes with two fitting and pre-flared ends, I cut and flared the rest.
