they dont fit

[truckdude239]

got my brake lines from inline tube today got to putting them on the truck and the line on the rear end dont fit. got inline tube trying to figure it out they said the rearend probley was changed any ideas of how to tell it it was everything under looks like its stock

[truckdude239]

the top picturte is the tube for the passager side and the bottom picture is the tube for the driver side which is too long and the passger side is too
short

[cdowns]

71 had a shorter pass side line because the rubber hose came from the front of the axel to the axel tube and 72 came from the rear closer to the center of the axel assy

[truckdude239]

this is the rearend that is in the truck i circled with the ruber hose mounts too

[smbrouss70]

On my 70 the rubber brake hose mounted where I circled. I used inline tube also, and they fit great on mine. Apparently the hose mounted in different spots depending on year.

[truckdude239]

1anyone know what year this rearend is out of? or something close

[mbgmike]

Inline tube generally does a good job. Their main competitor I would never recommend. I waited 3 months after 6 calls I get them and they didn't even include enough to go from the front to the back plus most of it was not pre-bent like i paid for. I will bend my own from now on.

[truckdude239]

the products i got where high tech and done right the front lines and the main line that runs down the frame fit well just these 2 rear lines i need to find out what rearend this truck has in it so i can send these 2 back and get the proper lines

I don't know what rear end for sure your's is, but my 82 C10 6 poppoer/T350 had the readr lines juction block where yours is. I have 4 or 5 axles at my place now for 69-72, and they all have it in the positions on the passenger side axle tube like in the second shot. So my guess would be yours was swapped out with a later 70's style rear end.

[truckdude239]

okay cool i think i'll send the the brake lines i got now and they can remake the ones i got

[cdowns]

or you could grind the tab off and weld it to the position where it will work// should take about 10minutes and no postage

[truckdude239]

umm that could mean i would need a welder can i borrow one? lol j/k

[truckdude239]

i might look into that i have some friends

[roughedup72]

I just changed the rearend in my 72 this weakend from my parts truck which is also a 72 and both of them were where you circled in your first pic. I say its a 72.

[qksilver]

Hey if you get to borrow a welder bring down here. I will pay for gas!

[truckdude239]

lol i going to try and get the right lines for the rearend before i go cutting and welding even if its an easier way out

My 72 C10 coil spring burb also has the T junction for the brake hose on top of the pumpkin, not on the axle tube. Maybe your '71 truck has an early install of a '72 axle or a '72 axle swapped in.

Definitely return the new and send in the old for them to copy. Be sure to insist that they send back the old with the new to check how well they matched the new lines.

[truckdude239]

well i sent the rar lines back to inline tube along with the oringals and they are going to make me a copy of the lines and get me on the road again
