Brake line question

[fatgump]

I would like some advice. Does this brake line look like it was ran correctly? Should I clean and paint the line or replace it? Thank you.

It looks good to me except 4655. The hose should go into a bracket with a clip retainer.

Personally, I think I'd go with all new brake line. These seem to have too many kinks and connections. Your truck brake is something you don't want to be chintzy on.

A lot of guys have mentioned Inline Tube. There may be others out there.

I made my own many years ago and came out really well. With the proper tools and some practice you can do it yourself and save some money.

New brake lines are nice...they are time consuming. Get some straight stainless steel tubing, a bender, a tubing cutter and double flare tool and make your own.

I just went through buying pre-bent brake lines...they didn't fit without reworking. They were InLine Tubes I purchased through GMC Paul's. Do it your self... that way you can decide where you want to run the lines and won't be disappointed with the claim "Bent the same as the originals" and they are not.
