What Front Brake Hoses To Use For 68 Conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HYPERMAN · 06-12-2002, 07:12 PM

Can anyone give me a part number or vehicle type so I can get brake hoses for the front of my 68 C10?

I swapped to disc but my brake lines are in the original location for 68.

Many thanks,

Peter

Use lines from '71 or '72.

Yep, used 71-71 flex lines too

The best thing to do is get all new front lines from Inline tube. Cut the brackets offf rear of frame and re-weld to front in appropriate location for new steel lines and use 71-72 factory lines. That's what I did on my 70, but I cut the brackets off the donor truck so I can restore mine someday if I want (HA! I'll never go back to crappy drum brakes!)

Early Classic Products makes a hose specifically for brake lines on rear of crossmember (original position) when switching to disc brakes. Cost 55.00 a pair. You will also need a 3/16 line from proportioning valve to brake line tee cost 9.00.
