Bagged trucks and longer rubber brake hoses,... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 01-23-2009, 11:59 PM

Now that the front of my blazer is on bags,... the front rubber brake lines are a little too short.
At full dump they are stretched "tighter than a fiddle string"!
I don't think the 73-87 guys have this problem. Can I use a factory OEM hose that is longer? (any part numbers?) TXfirefirghter posted that the 3/4 ton 71-72 hose is 1 inch longer, (and about $20 each higher priced)

I'm thinking it might be cheaper to switch to 73 calipers and hoses,... but I don't know if they fit my 71-72 spindles OR if the 73 rubber line will bolt up to the 71-72 steel hard line. Any suggestions?

im pretty sure switching to the 73 up calipers and hoses will remedy your problem

I could run them,... I just need an excuse to use them on a disc brake conversion on the '69,... and get new ones for the blazer

Or you could get a stainless braided set from speedway.
