brake line identification help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my brake linespecially in from CPP. No diagram. No labels. Nothing. Can anyone help? I know the two on the right go to the master cylinder but I'm not certain from there. Nothing I've tried seems to fit quite right

The line next to the master cyl lines goes along the crossmember. That sharp curve is wher the line wraps to the outside of the frame

Did you order 71-72 disk brake lines or 73+? Also do you still have you brake line retainers?

Alright we'll give it a shot. It's just occurred b to me, I don't believe I have banjo bolts and the soft lines only came with 1 clip each. I need two. One top. And one bottom

mattwhiteyanks1 · 01-13-2015, 12:00 AM

Well I guess this is right but I don't like it.

mattwhiteyanks1 · 01-13-2015, 12:02 AM

Easier to see right side up I guess

**michael bustamante** · 01-13-2015, 01:32 PM

yup thats right. it links to the rear brakes. there should be another one that goes along the same route that links to your front brakes. they will most likely route under the engine stands

**michael bustamante** · 01-13-2015, 01:37 PM

pm me a reminder and ill e mail you a pic of my routed lines

Yeah, these helped a lot. I've actually just decided to bend my own lines. The prebent lines just don't work out like I want them. Thanks for the help

**michael bustamante** · 01-15-2015, 04:13 PM

i hear that alot! i pulled a set from a 72 half ton and copied those

mattwhiteyanks1 · 01-15-2015, 04:18 PM

I'm using the S.U.R&R brake line kit. Their products are top notch and, there's no comparison when it comes to ease of installation. Easy to bend by hand. Won't kink. I've been finishing up my radiator support and dual fan set up the last day or two.
