Does anyone know the brake line sizes for a 76 C10?
Hello all, I'm looking for the size of the my rear brake line the one that runs along the passenger side fuel tank.
Mine line isn't leaking but there's a really rusty spot that's pretty deeply pitted, bad enough that I don't really feel safe running it. I could just buy a premade line but was thinking maybe just make my own but have no clue what size line or fittings to buy.

Re: Does anyone know the brake line sizes for a 76 C10?
I'm currently working on replacing all the lines on my 81 while I have easy access. Not sure if it's the same as your 76, but on my 81 the rear line from the proportioning valve to the rear axle hose is 1/4" line. So is the line from the master to the prop valve. The front lines are all 3/16". I'm not sure what the lines are on the rear axle itself as I haven't pulled those off yet

Fronts should be 3/16, front to rear should be 1/4 all the way and thru the rear soft line, back to 3/16 from the rear soft line distribution block to each wheel cylinder across the rear axle…
I would suggest getting NiCop brake line for the splice. It doesn’t rust and it’s really easy to work with.
