i have a 72 c10 w/disc brakes that i installed dropped spindles with 3 inch drop springs now my brake hoses are stretched to and past the limit, every one local has not a clue about longer hoses. is there something obvious that im missing here or does someone make extended hoses for this? john 3-16

Have you checked your local off road shops?

Or online with places like www.offroadwarehouse.com

Local shops may be able custom make them as well.

My local NAPA dealer (old experienced parts guy) says he has a chart showing end fittings and lengths. Based on the stock hose, he can identify longer hoses that will fit. Also read in another post that '72 Monte Carlo fit and are 2" longer but have not confirmed.

How long of hoses do you need? I bought the braided hoses from inlinetube and they fit just fine...and look pretty cool. I also have drop spindles, 2.5".
