Need brake hose part number or suggestions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,
My local parts store doesn't stock a front brake hose for a 72 1/2 ton. They have plenty for a 73. They show that the calipers are the same, but can anyone tell me if the front brake hoses will work from a 73? Surely someone has ran into this before.

Thanks in advance,
Brad

I had the same problem. No-one carried them locally except napa. They wanted $53 each. I ordered a pair from LMC for something around $30 for the pair. Shipping was fairly quick, but my truck was tore apart anyway.... sorry, but I don't know if a '73 is the same.

How are the hoses routed? There are at least two different 73-87 styles. The hoses on my 84 run to the rear of the upper control arm. A bracket that is attached to the hose bolts to the back face of the control arm. I think the earlier 73-87 hoses attach to bracket that are part of the conrol arm and are shorter.

I used hoses from a late 60's Impala on a 63 that I put discs on several year ago. The wagons and big cars with heavy duty brakes use the same brakes as the trucks also.

They go in front of the control arm. The brackets are bolted to the frame (or crossmember). I can't tell what would be the difference unless it has a different fitting on it or something.
