Brakequip is alot less expensive and they are all stainless plus they come in colors for a fashonable look

If your not close to a dealer then online is a better way I guess.

speedway motors has the braided stainless brake hoses in different lengths

I'll check these out thanks.

Whats the difference between a drum brake hose and a disc brake hose? I was looking at some stainless brake hose kits from GMC Pauls and i noticed some disc brake hoses.

At very least, the length is different. Disc brakes have the hose on the back of the front crossmember, and drum brakes have the hose on the front of the crossmember. (It might be the other way around! ... can't exactly remember)

Also disk and drum hose ends are different.

dznucks · 04-10-2009, 06:17 AM

Ok thanks

mbgmike · 04-10-2009, 08:47 AM

Just for reference the OEM hose lengths are
1967 12.1/8" long
1968-1971 9" long
1972 8.5/8" long

measired between ferrules-(Actual exposed hose)

It Should but these are rubber hose lengths.

mbgmike is right.The ferrule length may differ between brands.The other thing to note is bend radii.The rubber hoses may bend easier/more than a similar braided hose and rerouting may be required to use them.
