I did some real head scratching when I did my disc conversion on my '70. I sourced all the parts my self, so I had to research everything, even though I've been doing brakes for 20 years.
my truck is a 69 but the front discs come off a 71 or 72. banjo bolt thread is 7/16 -20. the hoses it came with orginally fit fine but were cracked. i ordered new doorman ones from partsgeek. maybe the hoses i got were from a newer truck
