73-87 brake lines

I’ve been reading that you can use 73-87 stock brake lines for disc/drum setups on a 60-66. I did a crossmember swap on my ‘64. Would like to mount the prop valve up front on the cross member like the 73-87.

Does anybody have any pictures of the lines going from the MC down to the frame/prop valve? Even pictures from a 73-87 would be fine I just want to see what they look like and where they drop down to the frame.

I ran stainless flex line from m/c down to the frame....no moonshine still coils...you could do the same from your m/c to your prop valve
