Brake Lines - I need pics

Please help me. I took my 72 Blazer apart seven years ago and I can't find my brake lines. I bought new lines, but I can't remember where they go. I've been able to find some pics on the site, but they all seem to be for 2WD vehicles. I need some pics for a 4WD - a K10 should be the same. In particular, I need to see how they descend from the proportioning valve, where they meet in front, and where they attach to the front brake hoses.

Thanks for your help!

The K10 run brake lines across the front riveted cross member unlike the C10 where it runs across the frame on the suspension cross member
Disc brake trucks have brake hose behind the bump stop where drum brake trucks have them before the bump stop

Thanks you very much.

Would you have a pic of how the tee is mounted on the crossmember?

Also, I seem to be missing something. This is a picture of the AC Delco brake hose I bought, together with the retainer clip. I'm not even able to find a part listing for whatever is missing.

I have the clips and the hoses. As the picture shows, the clips are too wide to clip on to the end of the hoses. I think there's a piece that goes on the end of the hose that the clip slides on.

Thanks. Those pics are very helpful. I was trying to run the lines from the proportioning valve inside the frame and now I see why it wouldn't work. I guess I'm going to need to order some brake line clips, because I can't find those either.

It looks like I'm going to have to go hit the wrecking yard for a couple of pieces I can't find online. That's what I get for taking so long...

Edit: Thanks! I got the lines in. I think Rock Auto sent me front hoses for a 2WD - they have a type of speed nut that holds them to the frame. I found some at the wrecking yard on a square body 2WD, and I also found the tee. I just need to find a union to join the rear line and I'll be done with this part of the build.
