As the title states, looking for 67 with manual brakes. Preference would be Canadian. Scott's Super Trucks does not have any and LMC only has stainless steel. Would prefer OEM. Thanks.

Princess Auto might have standard tubing. At least in Regina they sell a ton of hydraulic stuff, so you'd have to imagine.

Since long lines are shipped coiled anyway and you have to straighten them, I'd go with buying my own tubing and tube nuts and forming them on your own. Which is what I did, but I did it with stainless which is hard. Mild steel is super-easy.

If you want it correct, use your old one as a template. There's a union or two in the 3/4-ton trucks, don't know about the half-tons.

I bought a pre-made piece at the auto part store. They had several lengths.

Thanks guys I will probably end up taking the old one off and have a shop build it for me as it would be cheaper than buying all the tools myself.
