Brake Line/Front Brake Hoses

I am at a point on the 72 SWB truck I am building to order my brake lines. I am thinking about the LMC SS kit. I did purchase my front brake hoses and noticed the driver's side hose, Raybestos part no. BH380713 has 7/16" female threads where it connects to the brake line. The passenger side, Raybestos part no. BH380712 has 3/8" female threads. Since I don't have my brake lines yet, could someone tell me it this is correct or not? Thank you. Joel

I would love to get pics of the mods you had to make if it's not too much trouble. Thanks.

Re: Brake Line/Front Brake Hoses

I needed both adapters for proportion valve (depends on your proportion valve sizes will vary)you will need a tee for front brake lines and an adapter to connect all three, the two from calibers will be 3/8 the one from tee to p/v is 5/16 i think.you will need a connector for the brake line coming from the back to connect to the one that runs to p/v.hope this helps this is for lmc ss lines with disc brake kit.
