Rear brake Line issues

[jsbgump]

i am trying to find the correct rear hard lines for my truck. I have ordered some for a 72. The truck is a 68 but has a 72 rear end in it. I have attached pics to show you what I have. Any help will be appreciated.

you ran the line wrong it goes to the back by the diff cover

The lines that i have are for the tab thats welded to the axle housing. The lines i'm trying to find are for the tab that goes to the diff cover bolt.

You have the lines installed wrong

they run on the back of the axel housing

RIGHT LINES WRONG ROUTING

The 71-72 frame has a mounting hole on that cross member for the brake line. I have a picture somewhere let me find it.

I just did this by cutting the a tab in the cross member and then bending it out. Drilling a hole for the brake line. Use a file for the little tab to keep the line from spinning. Purchase a brake hose from napa that had 1/4 in line in then a junction for 2 3/16 lines. Purchase a 30 inch line for the right side and a 40 inch line for the left. Bent up the lines and no flaring required. Perfect lengths. All for only about $20

BUT I swapped frames. You could just weld the axle tab from your old axle back on then run the hose you need for your original set up .

Hope that helps,
Mike

My truck is a 72 but I am not using a kit. I just purchased a hose from an 80's c10 for around $13, one 40 inch and on 30 inch 3/16 premade straight brake line from napa. I used a tubing bender and bent up the rear lines. they come pre flared with the nuts on them. All I did was bend them up. The picture I posted is not my truck, but mine looks almost identical.
