Front brake hoses
Hi folks from Chula Vista Ca.
One of the upgrades I did on my C10 69 was: swap front disc brakes from a C10 1980,last night the driver side hose was broken because when the wheel turned to inside the caliper broke the hose against the lower arm. I'd like to see a picture, how the hose is installed, also where can I buy the right hose, the one I've on my truck was build to fit because if I use the 80 version the end to the caliper is right but the other end is 69 version Thank you |

Re: Front brake hoses
Great!!! Thanks for the pictures. As I said the the hoses I installed were custom made and looking on your pictures I noticed mine are longest that's why are broken.
Thank you Andy |

Re: Front brake hoses
I already order a custom hose but
But I've this question. 71/72 calipers do fit on 73/87 spindles C10. May be this could be more easy to get the right hoses. When someone wants to swap 73/87 on 67=72 |
