Brake Line Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

STOCKISH · 04-10-2009, 01:50 PM

I bought the full 11 peice set of stainless lines for my 72 Cheyenne Super project. However, when I bought this truck all the lines had been removed for the frame to be cleaned, painted, etc... So, I really could use some good pictures of where and how these lines run so I can get them installed properly. I also bought the set of clips and retainers so that should help too. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks--Josh

Don't know if I'll get pics this weekend, but....

Two hard lines down from the MC quite close to the headers. (After 10 years of owner inattention, one steel line rubbed thru, prompting my upgrade to SS. )

Both across the back side of the cradle to the pass frame rail.

One forward to the RF wheel, one backwards alongside the fuel line

IIRC, the rear line kind of wraps around the RR shock, then goes up to a tee on top of the diff. The hard lines to each rear wheel stay above the axle tube.

The front lines Should run the same. That is, along the back of the front cross member, and the rear runs from there along the inside of the passenger side frame rail to the middle of the crossmember that is just in front of the duifferential. From there it jumps via a single flexible line to a the top of the diff.
