Brake line routing guidance

I'm trying to install an In-line disc brake conversion kit in my 64 c10. The old lines I took out we're a total mess and are no help for a pattern. I think have have the lines that run behind the cross member to the passenger side front brake and along the frame rail to the rear brakes somewhat close, but I can't figure out how the lines that run up to the proportions valve go??? Can someone that has ran their lines lately point me in the right direction? I just have the lines kinda zip tied together until I know I have the routing somewhat close.

Re: Brake line routing guidance

Ahhh the memories of cussing and frustration. Looks good so far. The 3rd pic should have both coiled lines running to the prop valve. hard to tell they way the pic was taken if the forward one is a coiled one also. I used andale clamps ( rubber padded metal strap clamps) and ran a bolt/nut through holes in the frame to secure my lines. The zip tie trick you are using worked well for me also to hold them at one end and position them so they didn't swing around.

If you ordered the lines from CPP, They will email you a line drawing as to how they should be laid out. That helped me a lot.

Re: Brake line routing guidance

Not to highjack but I was wondering if you switched the u bolts on the bottom control arms to the 3/4 ton ones? If you havent you might give it a thought since you can get at them easy right now.

Re: Brake line routing guidance

Thanks for the pictures and the drawing; now I know I'm heading in the right direction. As for the U-bolts for the lower control arms, they were upgraded to the larger size.
