go to a local brake and hydraulic shop and get it made. bring your old one with you and tell them to make it longer.

Re: what rear brake hose to use with lift
I worked with Russell directly, I have 74 K10 axles on the 59 springs. I measured from the calipers in front to the fitting at the frame, and from fitting I located at the frame cross member above the axle to the stock Tee on the rear axle. Turned out a 4" lift kit for a 74 worked out ok. The tech I talked to was able to look up lines based on the length and type/size of fitting on each end. He also said it they did not work they would exchange them and pay the shipping. I've recommended them a bunch of times with no complaints I know of.

I went down to my local napa and had them pull a stock one off the shelf and then find the same thing but 6" longer and they did. I think it was only like 15 bucks too.
