1968 rear brake line/brake hose schematic needed

[Drummerboy]

So I get under my '68 1/2 ton 2wd fleetside to spray the rubber brake line fittings with penatrating oil to start soaking the fittings, only to find one rubber hose, on the passenger side. The drivers side does not have a rubber hose, it has all hard lines and nothing on the frame where the rubber hose would be, on the passengers side. What am I missing here?

Nothing. There is only one rubber line from the passenger side frame rail to a union block near the differential. Then hard lines from the union block to the wheel cylinders behind the backing plate.

Are there any on the front?

The front has one rubber line per side. 67-70 they will be attached to the rear of the front cross member. 71-72 they will be attached to the front of the cross member (disc brake trucks). Where they "attach" is where they meet the steel lines.

I'm not seeing that one rubber hose in that, schematic or on their site.

Unfortunately those illustrations in LMC don't help you much. I did a quick search at NAPA parts and there is a real pic of the hose and for less than $20. Have a look.

Awesome, thank you! I found it at my local O'Reillys but one was for a leaf spring truck and the other for a coil spring truck but, it also asked for left or right. They only have one on the right, which is the passenger side. But the coil spring verso said it was for the left. Not sure it matters much.....
