I just tried to buy front brake hoses for 71 C30 at Napa and was told N/A. Anyone know where I can get some?

I would try other parts stores, or a board vendor.

when i tried buying local i found everybody carried the right hose and nobody had the left, got a pair from LMC they worked out well

in-line tube sells them, exactly like originals.

Napa told me the same thing, yet the guy made me one under the counter.

I think there is a law that metal brake line has to be atleast 8 inches.

The NAPA here had them, but they were $52 each. NO WAY! I got mine from LMC for 20 bucks for the pair? It's been a year, I think that's what they were, anyway, I did have to trim a little bit off of them where the c clip thingy goes on the susupension crossmemeber, they wouldnt fit through the hole for some reason! It was an easy mod. Other than that, they fit well.

thanks for the reply's, I have found some places that list a hose for c20 but nothing yet found for C30 which is what I need. does anyone know if that would be the same hose?

The calipers on the 71 are the same as the 73 - 75. So you might try hoses for the 73 on up. the length of the hose will be the deciding factor. You might try this site for info on part numbers. https://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/mfr,WAGNER.
Maybe someone on the 73 and up forum will have the length measurements for you.

i went with 73s on mine ,but it is a half ton.

I ended up ordering the ones listed for c20 from atheys. He said he thought they would be the same so we shall see. thanks to all...
