Front brake line ? and shock mount nut ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Started to put some parts back on the truck today and ran into a couple snags. First, I lost the nuts for the top shock mounts for the front. Anyone know what size I need so I won't have to take the mount off? Next the front brakes I'm using are from a 75 1/2 tom 2wd. Does anyne make a set of the rubber lines that will fit? The stoc 75 lines have a male end where they hook up to the hard line and the 66 uses female ends. On a good note I did get most of the pass. side stuff on today. The lower arm was not fun!

Might want something more substantial than dirt under the jack stand so the whole mess doesn't settle down on yer legs while yer working on the suspension.

Thats what my neighbor keeps telling me. lol I have two on each side and a floor jack (not the little red one) that I put under the cross member while working on it. I do need to jack it up and redo it. Its been raining and I am worried about it when I'm not under it. lol

I think what I will do is get a set of stock lines from a 75 and just switch the whole thing over to 75. I'm going to use a MC and booster frm a 75 also.

You would think that right? lol I think 4 jack stands and two jacks is pretty secure. I just worry about it falling off when I'm not under it becuase I don't want to leave my jack out all night in case someone wants it more than I do. lol I can't wait till I get my driveway poured!
