Well, that decision got made....

I am in the process of taking apart the rear section of my truck to clean, rust treat, and paint the rear frame, arms, and rear diff. Got the shocks off with and panyard bar broken loose with little trouble - thank you PB Blaster.

Was taking off the two hard lines (tossed) and rubber line (tossed) and as I was breaking loose the long line from the front to the back from the rear rubber line I was thinking "I wonder if I can save this piece?" Well, I didn't notice the line was not turning in the nut and I twisted the end of the line off. Rookie mistake but my question about reusing the old line is answered. I already knew not to reuse it, but sometimes I have frugal thoughts.

Now I just gotta figure out what to order going from four wheel manual drum to power disc front, drum rear. Any suggestions from those with experience?

Thumbs up Re: Well, that decision got made....

Go to Jegs and order the roll of 25' 3/16" line and make up your own lines. I'm doing it on a 68 step myself. Going to run the lines to the front of the A-arms like on my 71 is from factory.

My link.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Well, that decision got made....

I recommend nicop lines. You can buy it from your local parts stores or online. It flares and bends really easily and it doesn’t rust. That’s what i did on the front to rear line on my K20 as well as the rear axle line. It’s really good stuff.
