Brake Lines
Where would be a good place to purchase the brake line that runs from the front to rear of pickup? Ive tried early classic,classic parts, but will have to wait 3 weeks for them.I need them ASAP.Napa has them but are not pre-bent.Is bending them hard? Could I get some pics on how to do it? Thanks Everyone in advance.... Dave

Re: Brake Lines
Get a tube bender and bend them yourself. Be careful and take your time an practice a little before you get into it. It's really not that hard.

Re: Brake Lines
The one that runs front to back is almost all straight with only minor bends. Most of those could be done by hand but a bender is best to avoid any kinks.

Re: Brake Lines
Ya you can hand bend for small bends but I'm paranoid so even if I do hand bend I use the "wheel" off the bender that you change for sizes of lines to help keep it from kinking. Your going to have to hand bend a little in some cases to make it fit better.

Re: Brake Lines
No problem, if you have any questions just ask. O an make sure you get the pre-flared with the couplers on them already.
