Front brake line question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First, Merry Christmas to all. I have a 70 frame that I have converted to disc brakes in the front. I bought front hoses from lmc and new brake lines from inline tube. I was installing them and found the the left short line fitting doesn't match up the the left brake hose. I think the hard line has a 3/8 fitting and the left hose is 7/16. Which one is wrong? The kit I bought from inline is for the disc brake conversion. I did notice the that the hoses from lmc on the female end were different sizes. Since I don't have a 71-72 to reference, I'm not really sure if that is correct or not. Can anyone clear this up for me? Also I'll attach a pic of the short left front tubing from inline.

I found an adapter that solved my problem. Didn't know that they made this particular one. Still progressing and learning everyday.

I had to use adapters on mine. I think you do on anything not totally bone stock . . . and even some of those.
