Any one have pics of 71-72 4wd brake line routing?

I'm trying to figure out how to run the front lines on my 71.I started at the rear,finished the rear axle and have made my way towards the engine compartment.I'm up to the point where the line bends to go across the crossmember but after that I have no clue.So...Any one have pics of 71-72 4wd brake line routing? Oh the joy of running and bending and flaring brake lines yourself...
Thanks

Bummer. My camera is mysteriously missing and the sun's going down... If I find it I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

Starting from the proportioning valve, both lines run down to the frame rail and run along the outside of it toward the front. Then just in front of the PS pump pulley, they bend under and come up inside the frame rail. Right here, inside the frame rail, the front line has a 'T'. The RF and rear lines continue forward toward, and across just behind, the crossmember. The LF line runs back from the 'T' inside the frame rail to its connection point with the flex line. The connection with the flex line actually happens through the frame. On the passenger side, the RF flex line connection is identical to the LF, and the rear hardline continues, well, rearward

HTH,
Eric
