Rear Brake Hose - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bob Moore · 03-19-2007, 11:12 PM

Having difficulty finding the correct rear brake hose. I have a 1/2T 67 coil SWB frame and a 1/2T 72 12 bolt rear end.

My question is did they use a bracket(strap like) on the 72 that makes the line/hose connection mount closer to the frame center line? IIRC the 67 line/hose connection is at the edge of the frame rail.

Anybody have a good part number for the rear hose? My parts house sells Wagneer(?) brake parts.

TIA - Bob

I checked the catalog at my work, wagner didn't list one, but Raybestos does... does this look like what you need?

AR15 - thanks. Is that listed for a 67 or a 72?

I am going through the same thing right now. The '71/72 hose bolts on a strap at the rear end cover plate, however, it appears to be too short to reach the earlier years frame location. I bought the hose shown from O'Reillys (stock item for 67-70) and made a strap bracket to clip the hose to at the rear end positioned like a '71/72. Looks like it will work perfect.

Yeah, the 71-72 steel line runs further back than the 67-70. The rubber hose comes in at a different angle on the two types. the earlier one comes more from the front and towards the pass. side, and the latter one comes more from towards the center of the axle from above.
