Brake Lines
So I'm finally going to have some time to work on my pickup this weekend. I still have one brake line to replace before I can bleed the brakes. Unfortunately, It's the long line on the frame that splices at the transmission and runs all the way back to the rubber brake line for the rear end. So do I have to buy a roll of brake line, straighten it, flare it, bend it and everything myself? Or do you guys know of an online source where I can get the whole line? I checked at napa, and o'reilly's and neither of them have a straight, pre-made piece long enough.

Re: Brake Lines
bought straight pieces at the local auto parts shop and put them next to the original line and bent to match for a fraction of the cost. key is a decent plier style bender

Re: Brake Lines
Okay I see the ones on LMC now. The brake line I need they only have in a 2wd half ton. Is it going to matter on my 4wd 3/4 ton?
