Brake hose part # needed

If anyone knows of a part number for brake hoses that worked in a 1971-72 truck with disk brakes, I would appreciate seeing them. Ive ordered two different sets and both have been to small, Im starting to wonder if the truck has a lift in it. Even so My friend has a 4'' lift and he used the hoses that where already on it.

Yep, I have the same problem.. Only my axles are out of a 80's blazer and were stripped from the front.. The rear has been cut in half and looks like it was a one-piece unit in the shape of a T-bar.. I have been looking all over the net and I cannot find one that looks like it which is disturbing.. I have a call into TopGun Customz and they are researching to see if my pic I sent them will match the extended ones they are selling that will work on my 4 inch lift.. I can't make new lines until I get them so I am stuck right now..

If you take your tee fitting to a hydraulic hose shop, they can use it to make a new hose of any length you want.

Re: Brake hose part # needed

amcgeh01 that is what the rear always looks like in these trucks in the rear, one hose from the frame/crossmember then it divides to wheels individually.

Ive been doing research and looking at napa online alot and there is almost a different brake hose for every year of these trucks all varying in length. The parts guy thinks he found the right parts but I know they will be wrong. Out of all the hoses I found for my truck the one I have was longest. I may just get a lift hose kit, even tho the parts guy didnt think they sold them If he cant get them it looks like another order to summit will be coming...
