If you are doing the conversion and have to buy hoses I recommend the conversion hoses.
Since you already own the 71-72 hoses I would use those.
(they will be slightly longer since they don't have to reach all the way to the front of the crossmember to connect to the steel line)

Have you looked to see if you can bolt these directly up?
Inverted flare adapters will cure that and are around $5 each here locally.

I understand wanting to plan out your build before you start,... but it just might pay to look under your truck and check.

Didn't mean to upset your for sale thread.
