Are rear brake line brackets all the same? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

brossow · 09-06-2008, 07:32 PM

I'm finally reassembling my truck from the bare frame up and I can't find the #@$%^ bracket from the rear brake line to the frame. Hope someone will tell me they're all the same instead of being specific to coil vs. leaf (mine's a leaf rear). And if you have one you can spare for CHEAP, please contact me ASAP. Attached is a pic of mine before it went missing.

Thanks,
Brent

Coil and leaf are different. I'm pretty sure 4wd,one ton and maybe even 3/4 tons are different also. Which one are you looking for.

Figures. I need 1/2 ton 2WD SWB leaf. Might as well be looking for a copy of the Magna Carta, I fear. The worst part is I can picture the darn thing in my mind sitting somewhere, but I can't remember where. And as we all know, imaginary parts aren't much good.

Thanks,
Brent

my 4WD 1/2 ton doesn't have that...

Is your's a 4wd. Here's a pic of one on a 70 2wd lwb 1/2 ton.

Here is a picture of a 72 leaf spring, 2wd, lwb, rear hose bracket. I believe they are the same. In looking at your bracket, it appears to be bent where the one I have is straight. I don't have a spare but thought you would like the picture.

Thanks for all of the replies! Guess it's time for me to turn my garage inside out and find the darn thing....

looks like a piece of angle iron with a hole will work too...

Found the bracket a couple nights ago -- it had fallen into a box of stuff from Harbor Freight! Now it's blasted, clearanced for the custom fuel tank, painted, and ready bolt on tomorrow when the paint has cured.
