'60 Shortbox Brake Line
Putting in new brake lines. The brake line set I got has the bigger line going from the passenger side front block back to the rear hose where the one I took off changed to the smaller line there. I don't think that will really be a problem will it? Except for one thing. My passenger side brass block has the smaller fitting for the rear line. Does anybody have a spare "all three larger line" brass block like the one on the drivers side?
One other thing does the original front to rear line have a coupler block in the middle? It appears the original one on the truck had a section replaced at one time. The new ones I am putting on has a split in the middle too. I would guess that I could run to the parts store for a coupler piece to hook them together. Would the parts store have a three way brass block though? |

Re: '60 Shortbox Brake Line
I just sold my left overs... but the shortbed front to rear in the kit was one piece. Then the t block went to 72 rear. But looked to be stock with 5/16 feral size connetion

Re: '60 Shortbox Brake Line
The O'rielly Auto Parts store in my area had all the connectors I needed when I changed brake lines. They had connectors for 3/16, 1/4 and 5/16. Auto Zone also had some. If there is one of these in your area you can try them.
The disc brake kit I installed had 3/16 fittings on caliper hoses and proportion valve. So, I went with 3/16 for both front and back lines. |

Re: '60 Shortbox Brake Line
As for the three way brass block, I tried Napa and O Reilly's and they didn't have it.

But I want the original style that has the area to put the clip to hold it to the frame bracket. |

Re: '60 Shortbox Brake Line
Think I'm going to send the brake lines back as they don't only work with the brass tee at the front but don't work with the hose at the rear end either.

Re: '60 Shortbox Brake Line
Farming implement supply stores have a huge selection of brass fittings.
