72 3/4T brake lines

Does anyone sell a complete brake line kit (hard lines) for a 3/4T? Been looking at all the suppliers that I can find, but only show the front lines and to the rear lines. Are these all we need? Where do we get the ones that go on the rear end? My father is wanting to change them all on his 72.
It's a 3/4T, 2wd, coil spring rear, with power brakes.
Thanks,

Virgil

I'm pretty sure Inline tube has them. Classic tube might as well. You can Google them for their web pages.

I bought from Inline Tube. $160.00 for the whole set back then. Check with Tim Christian. He is now a dealer for Inline Tube. He is also on vacation til Thursday I think. Give Tim a shot though. He is great to work with and good prices too.

Yeah from what I heard Inline Tube is the way to go there. Glad to see yet another MS trucker here. My wife has family up there in Liberty. Who knows, we may get to meet up some day when I am up there with the family.

Unless this is a show truck, why not just buy straight brake line and make your own? You will save an enormous amount of money.

I bought mine because although it is not a show truck, I wanted it to fit right. I just broke a line on my 90 X-cab. It was the front to rear line. The local stores carry 10-20-30-40 inch lines. I needed 32 total inches to make it. I bought the 40 and had to put a complete loop in it to fit. Then the line in front of that one broke. The union is over the side mounted fuel tank. After 1 1/2 weeks of messing with attempts to bend, fit, bend, fit. I called Inline and two days later had all the correct lines and they fit perfectly. They have the correct rock guards and fittings. Time is money and on brakes, quality is safety.

I suggest getting a tubing bender, tubing cutter and flaring tool. Then you can make lines to any size, shape or length you need. These tools really come in handy when you need them.

I could buy all the tools above and enough lines for a whole truck for alot less than $160 dollars.

I suggest that you do that. And make that a double flare tool as that is what they are supposed to have.
The original post asked if anyone sells a "complete kit".
I stand by my answer, "Yes, they do."
He did not ask what we would we would do or what the cost.
And $160.00 is a drop in the bucket when compared to what it costs to do these trucks or any vehicle.
They fit right, look right, work right, have the correct fittings and rock guards, (show me those on parts store tubes) and I feel 100% confident that my family is safe in this truck. How much is that worth?

Thanks

Thanks to all replys. This is my father's truck, and he asked for something pre made, so that he can install them himself.
As for tube bending, anyone here have figures for the different tube sizes? Only one I remember id 3/8" tubing, if you needed a 12" piece with a with a 90 degree bend, you mark and start your bend at 11 1/4" Would like a chart for my records.

Thanks again,
Virgil
