Rearend hard brake line question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are all 71-72 rearend hard brake lines and t-fitting mounting points the same? I have a 72 and a 68 rearend. The t-fitting on the 68 is on the rear side of the rearend and the 72 is on the front side. I want to buy pre-bent hardlines and want to ensure if I order them for a 71-72 they are going to fit and not come out on the rear side of the rearend. Thanx

My 71 1/2 ton is on the rear side, don’t remember ever seeing one mounted on the front of the diff.

My 71 has them on the front. And my 68 has them on the back as you stated.

I'll find some pics!

Weird......I wonder why the differences? I ordered my tubes from The Right Stuff and they came correct.
