A good friend just ordered brake lines from Inline Tube for his 65 C10. It was a conversion to power brakes and they fit!

I was amazed and a little peeved as my Stainless Steel Lines had to be modified and adapted to fit my 70 C10. Mine were from another vendor though. I don't know the original manufacture. Your story is an old one as many have the same issue. Seems GM had different routeing for the same truck. Depending on the local the truck was made and the day of the week, I guess. If you purchased SS lines they are difficult to double flare. Especially without the correct, expensive tools. If you have steel lines and some patience I would modify them the best I could and call it good. Your are deep into the frustration phase of restoring these old trucks. At least it was for me.

I too have spoken with Inline Tube and they really are not interested in complaints on fitment. So many variants, that they likely get a lot of them, and are tone deaf for that reason.
