Anyone have pics of their frt. disc brake lines

I ordered pre-bent lines and was searching the site to see what I'm doing wrong. I have all the components for the brakes bolted up and ready to do the plumbing. I bought the lines from LMC, they just look like they need "re-bent" mainly the one that runs across the crossmember.

Any and all pics would be great!!! Thanks in advance.

Seem to remember having to "tweek" mine also when I bolted all the 72 stuff on my 69, and I also ordered my stuff from LMC also

I think each truck is a little different and require some tweeking....

I had to tweak mine. I ran 72 components on a 68 frame.

For future reference, in case someones doing a search, I bought a stainless set from inline tube and they fit perfect. I was very pleased. Someone from here suggested them. I got the braided stainless hose that attaches to the front caliper. All nice stuff, great fit.

Re: Anyone have pics of their frt. disc brake lines

One last Q for someone that does not know..

Is front master cylinder reservoir for the front or rear brakes??? I still have to bleed the brakes and want to make sure all is correct before I bleed them.

1/2 tons are front res. to front brakes, and rear res. to rear brakes.

3/4 tons are opposite.
