Brake line question

I have a 68 c10 with a complete 71 suspension and disc brake parts. I ordered the inline tube kit. Which is not marked and of course didn't come with any fittings. Any help or guidance would be appreciated guys.

Re: Brake line question

All you can do is find the lines in the kit that fit where the old lines come out. It's pretty straight-forward. I installed the complete S/S Inline Tube kit for my 1972 GMC with disc brakes in over the winter. If you have headers in your rig... it's easier to do it with the headers and exhaust out of the way. I have headers... so I removed them prior to install. I cleaned and reused all the original fittings, except I put new flexable lines at the front wheels, and a new flexable line in the rear. I got those from my local parts store.

You will have to do a little bending and flexing of the lines to get them to fit. But that should be expected with any aftermarket kit. Inline Tube comes very close to an exact factory fit.

It's not as hard as it looks...
