HELP, brake line installation?????????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jugernot · 07-21-2005, 03:13 AM

I have a 71 2wd short bed chevy truck frame with disc/drum. When I bought the frame it did not have any brake lines on it. I purchased new brake lines, but can not figure out which way the go.

Does anyone have any pics of the brake lines installed.

I have drum/drum in my 68 which I replaced the lines. You want pics of that as a reference? I can grab them today when I'm done doing my carb and tune-up stuff.

I know that the 68 brake lines run behind the front cross member. I think the 71 brake lines run in front of the front cross member. But any pics you have will help Thanks

Here are the pics from my 68 drum/drum setup. Hope this helps a bit. If you need any other views let me know and I'll try to get them.

Pic 1: caster cylinder/prop valve
Pic 2: Bottom of prop valve
Pic 3: lines from prop to frame
Pic 4: first split for front drums
Pic 5: lines behind front cross member
Pic 6: connection of front half of the rear line to the back half
Pic 7: Rear line down fram rail
