Got the hoses from Hoses unlimited off E-bay. They fit perfectly with no problems what so ever.
Very nice quality hoses for a good price.

Thanks,
Nick will make them any color you want. Just tell him when you order them.

I like the red , Red really pops with the blue on my truck and when I get my front end swaped out with disc brakes I will be getting some of these.

Well I'm very pleased with them so far. I have noticed even with the power brakes I don't have to hit the brake pedal as hard as I did before.

They almost look too short.
The 63-70 trucks would be long enough, since the connection point is on the back side of the crossmember,... but with them connected on the front side of the 71-72 crossmember,... makes me wonder.
What do they look like turned both directions?
What's the length of the hose itself?

I have no idea on length but side by side compared to the old hoses they are the same length. I didn't take pictures of the hoses while the wheels were turned but I did notice the drivers side was tight when installing it. But they seem to be fine.
