NAPA Part #: UP 36564 (18.69" Length)
Both guaranteed to fit my vehicle. LOL, they both can't fit. However, it appears to be the correct two rear hoses for the 67-72 trucks. The shorter one on the right side and the later, longer, center hose.
Nothing for the front which is weird as they would likely be the better sellers.
Leave it to the brokers to assume the 1/2T and 3/4T hoses are the same.
I spent an exorbitant amount of time on what should have been "The simple brake stuff."
Was flat out lied to or just not given all the information I needed. It became obvious they knew the product they sold wouldn't fit as delivered. Did they lie by omission? Or is it plausible deniability? Plenty of room for vendor improvement in this area.

hi,i went through this just recently on my truck as i said,i found the rear hose without any trouble.the differance is a coil spring truck or a leaf spring truck,seems to me the long one is the leaf spring which fit my truck with leaf's just fine.the front hose's were the problem.l bought them from the Napa store here,wrong,tryed 2 sets on Rock Auto,both wrong and the last time i looked at the listing on Rock Auto,the only thing shown was the rear hose,front hose's are not there any longer.when i called Nick at Brake Hoses Unlimited in Michigan,told him i had 3 sets of hoses that were too short.he said "you have a 3/4 ton truck don't you" i said yes i do.he said he runs into this often,the correct hoses were 14 inches long and he'd be happy to make them for me,and they're here now and won't be a problem,i just know.take care.Greg
