1966 bagged burban brake issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LOBOTY · 01-26-2009, 10:26 AM

I have a 1966 suburban. It is bagged w/ 73-87 drop spindles calipers and rotors. My problem is how the brake line tucks up under the top control arm. The bolt connection on the caliper is on a 45 degree towards the front of the truck w/ the hard line mount back towards the back of the top bag mount on the cross member. So when the air is out it tucks under the control arm leaving it there after it is raised back looking like the brake line is in a bind. Anybody have any ideas????

I would re route the lines in a safer spot. Its all fun and games until you cant stop.

You may get a better responce in the 60-66 or suspension side.

That was the plan to do some kind of re-route but wanted to see what or if someone else had a similar problem.

Maybe put in the suspension area and post a couple of pics, you never know someone may have the same problem.
