Brake lines front to Back

Bouncy (and all others for that matter),

FYI; if you walk into a NAPA and ask Joe Corncob behind the counter for a front left brake line for a '70 K5 with a 4" lift, he'll look at you like you're green with 3 heads . Such a part does exist, but they'll have to dive into the books (indeed a lost art), find the OEM line, find the fitting on each end, find the length, then look in the back of the book for a line with the same ends, but X" longer.

Just so you don't give up at the parts store when looking for stuff. A competent counterman can find just about anything like that, but 9 times out of 10, you'll get a dip$hit high school kid that just won't try, or doesn't know where to look.

When at the parts store, be persistent, and have the best guys help out if the morons can't

InlineTube can make just about anything you're looking for in brake lines; they may be pricey. For my $$, and how long it takes to rust through a set of OEM metal lines, I'd just roll with whatever replacement steel lines are available from ChevyDuty, GMCPauls, etc. If you want SS, do it up though......
