Lines for disc brakes conversion. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am almost done collecting parts for the front. In 2 weeks I will order axles and powertrax for the rear. I know that brake lines on a 69 c10 will not match with brake hoses. Inline tube wants $160 for a conversion lines which I think is too much. Where did you guys get brake lines? Junkyard or bend your own?

I bend my own brake lines and since the front disc lines are 3/16" it is very easy to make them up.

How do you bend em? Where do you buy em?

I need to replace the line that goes to the passenger front cylinder, the damn thing is got a arch in it to run along the cross member, I don't see how I am going to match that dang thing. I am going to try and get it close and call it a day. Are the generic 5 buck benders good enough, or should I spring for a more expensive bender?
