C20 Rear Brake Hose Solution

[PepperTreeGarage]

This was my solution to the C20 Rear Brake Hose dilemma. This all started when I got the wrong part from NAPA. They didn't have the correct hose for my '72 C20. The NAPA part number is 36765. They have this hose as fitting 1974-1986 C10s and C20s. Now this hose by itself doesn't quite work, but with adapters it does. I found that adapters are available when I went to the Hose-Man to have a rear brake hose made up out of braided line. It did cost a bit more than going with the NAPA hose. The NAPA hose with the adapters would cost approx. $30.00 total. This solution works for the C20's that have the distribution block as part of the brake hose. First pic is the stock hose. 2nd and 3rd pic is the NAPA hose. The 4th pic are the 3/8-24 to 7/16-24 adapters. Last pic is the new hose assembly on the DANA 60.
