Question Front to rear brake line question

Is the front to rear brake line 1 piece from the factory? That being from the master to the rear brake hose.

I bought some bulk (25') tubing so I could make it in one piece but want it to be correct so can piece it. This is a 69 C30 by the way.

If it's in 2 pieces, where would they be split?


Thanks,

Bob

one piece back to a splitter on the rearend which sends a line laterally to each wheel cylinder.

Re: Front to rear brake line question

Mine has drums so no prop valve but it does have the distribution block or whatever it's called (warning light wire goes to it)

I do have the small line from master to that block that is still good condition.

So I'll put a union 6 inches from driver side on crossmember. 3 lines it is.

Thanks,

Bob
