Re: Gathering parts for front disc brakes for 1969

Thanks for your great info so far, folks.

So this is what I have:
My truck: 1969 C-10 1/2 ton 2WD long bed with manual stock drum brakes.
I have purchased so far front stock height spindles, rotors, calipers, hoses, center link, new tie rods, and manual brake master cylinder for 1971 C-10.
And rear drum brakes from a 1971 C-10.

I plan to get 5 lug conversion axles for my 1969 differential.
I plan to keep my 1969 front crossmember if possible.
I would like to have manual brakes, not power. Figuring out which master cylinder was done in this other thread and I got the NAPA M36280 same as 54blackhornet.

My questions for you folks so I can order the few remaining parts I need:

I would like to end up with the correct pre-bent brake lines that will give me the front brake hoses attached with a clip to the front of the crossmember, using 71-72 hexagon shaped clips. Would I just need to get the 71 or 72 brake lines and they will fit a 1969 frame and cross member? And will those clips work?

Here is the thread where I found out information about those hexagon shaped clips.

Since I'm going to have a 1969 differential I understand it is a different width compared to the 70-72 differentials, so does that mean I should get rear brake lines for a 67-69 in order for them to fit correctly?

I see online 13 piece brake line clip sets for 67-70 or 8 piece clip set for 71-72. I don’t know if the clips should match the year of the frame or year of the brake line kit. What do you folks think?
