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

I was under my 71 truck and noticed that the hard rear brake line from the MC is not continuous down the passinger side of the truck. It is split and spliced to another hard line that runs to the rear brakes by a rubber hose. Why? Just curious because my hose looks like it needs to be replaced. I thought the truck had hard brake line from the MC back to the rear brakes, I guess not.
Anybody know why Chevy would splice the hard line with a rubber hose?
