Help?? New Brake Line - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jugernot · 10-08-2004, 07:29 PM

I just got my new stainless brake lines from Classic Industries. Can anyone show/ tell me how to put them together? There is about 6 different pieces, I don't know which one goes where...

post a picture of the parts!!!!!

jugernot · 10-08-2004, 08:12 PM

I hope this will work.

**lolife99** · 10-08-2004, 08:21 PM

What year were the brake lines ordered for? What year is your frame? AND,... what year front suspension do you have?

*rage'nrat638* · 10-08-2004, 08:23 PM

Well The One's With The Extra Wire Sheilding Go Onto Each Wheel...
The Other's Are The Line's That Go From The Front To The Rear...
That Bag Should Have The Couplers That Connect Each Onthe To Make The Total Length Needed To Go From The Front To The Rear....

I Read Your Sig...seems Like If Your Running A Narrowed Rear End You Will Be Needing A Double End Flare Kit To Shorten The Line's To Match The Narrowed Width Of You Rear End..... :d

Here's Picture Of My Narrowed Rear End....

The "L" looking one run from the frame to the resr crossmember where there a notch. The Big long one run along your frame. The one with a half moon shape goes along the front crossmember. The other I'm lost on. There either go the the front calipers or the run behind the rear axle.

The truck is a 68 short bed, with 71 front disc brakes.

that sucks, you got the wrong brake system. Some how they thought you had a 71 or 72.

I BELEIVE YOUR CORRECT, WRONG KIT.

**lolife99** · 10-08-2004, 08:51 PM

A:Frame line. B:Rearend line. C:Behind the crossmember. D:Frame to prop. valve. E:Other prop. valve line. ??? F:Other rearend line. G:Front brake hose line??? H: Lines from master cylinder to prop. valve. Anybody else?

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-08-2004, 08:55 PM

Master Cylinder Kit I Bought Installed

**lolife99** · 10-08-2004, 08:59 PM

Actually,... it looks like the '71-'72 4x4 kit I got by mistake. Especially lines (D and E). (Lines D and E, on a 4x4, are mounted on the outside of the LH frame rail). '71-72 2wd hard lines connect to the rubber hoses on the front side of the crossmember. '70 and older,... I believe,... connect to the rubber hoses on the BACK side of the crossmember. Confused yet?

Alexis · 10-08-2004, 09:10 PM

here you go man.

jugernot · 10-08-2004, 10:31 PM

I thinks I found a diagram of the lines in the LMC catalog. Thanks everyone.

jugernot · 10-09-2004, 12:22 AM

Well, my wife and i sat down for about 1 hour trying to figure it out and it looks like I have the wrong stuff. I am a little upset, I will have to call tomarrow to get this worked out.

jugernot · 10-09-2004, 04:17 PM

Well I guess it does pay to put something down and come back to it later. I went to bed a little frustrated, but dismorning I looked at the lines again and figured it out. Thanks for the help.

incoma · 10-09-2004, 04:32 PM

I also bought a kit from Classic Industries, and a kit from Year One. Neither one was correct. I take that back, the front to rear line that runs in the frame worked, but that was the only one... I wound up buying some straight, unbent lines and bent my own. Even then the line that goes from the prop valve to the front/rear line was a bear to bend. That little twist around the frame on the passenger side it a tough one to make, particularly since I had to get it around my exhaust.
