Brake line needed. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in need of the brake line on the rear passenger side axle. I have a 10 bolt coil rear 2wd. Where it goes into the tee it is 1/4" I believe. the other end goes into the brake drum housing. all I need is the short line. Any help would be great!!! Thanks JIM

If that doesn't work out you can pick up a piece at your local auto parts store pretty cheap. Just bend it by hand into shape.

I tried that. The problem I am having is that the ends are two different sizes. The T is 1/4" an where it goes into the drum I think it is 3/16ths.

Hmmm weird. OK just a thought. Good luck on your adventure.

Somethings weird most all drum brakes use 1/4 line, did you get a 3/16 fitting to screw into it? Are you sure the wheel cylinder has not been replaced with a newer metric cylinder by mistake? 1/4 x 3/16 adapters are available from NAPA it is the same adapter used when putting a disc brake front end on a drum brake truck. What year is your truck with a 10 bolt rear?

The truck is a 71. I checked this morning and It is a 3/16th on the drum. I am going to napa today to try and find an adaptor.
