Sweet. I may end up getting them from Bill of he is ok with disassembling some doors he has. If that doesn't work out, then I'll plan a trip to see you.

Working on my truck outside is inconvenient this time of year, so I'm going to focus on tasks that will allow me to roll it into the garage. It is parked on a slope right now, and I'm afraid to try moving it without brakes. I'm going to get the brakes working so I can have my daughter sit in the truck and steer while I push it around.

This evening I removed the hard brake lines and fuel lines from the frame. I will be replacing them with new stainless lines.

Hey Pat,
Are buying prebent lines or making up your own ?

I bought pre-bent lines.

That should make it easier. I bent all mine, and stainless is unforgiving. If you make a mistake on your last bend or forget to put the flare nut on before flaring it's back to square one!!! Ask me how I know..... 😂...

You probably ended up with better fitting lines in the end though. I debated going that route, but I've bought pre-bent lines in the past, and they fit reasonably well after a little massaging.
