Stainless flex brake hoses - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Stroker · 08-10-2002, 07:10 PM

Was thinking of getting some SS brake hoses from inline tube for my 72. I wondered if anyone had used these before or had an opinion about them? Also noticed that you could get custom lengths. With a 4, 6, drop (Spindle and springs up front and short coils on rear)would that be a good idea? It seems that I've seen some trucks where the stock rear hose was almost kinked after the truck was lowered. Any ideas on what lengths might be best? Thanks.....Stroker

Stainless braided is the only way to go. I have them on my truck and also will be selling them soon. If you are going to bag or lift your truck, then you may need to look into longer lines. Braided lines dont swell or give like the rubber ones do.

I have a 70 SB and would like SS brakes. Are all the lines SS and are they prebent. I have installed 73 front spindles and disc brakes and the remaining will be 70 model. What information will be needed for this setup, also has bags installed temporary till brake lines are run.
