I am doing the stock 73-87 disc brake conversion on my 68 swbss using CPP spndles with my stock 68 frame and a arms, and was wondering what others were doing for the front brake hoses. The ones that come with the kit are fairly long and require a loop turned in them to clear the frame and a arms. I was thinking about trying the 71-72 truck hoses which fit the factory disc brakes. I know that GM put the brake lines in front of the cross member from 73 on because of the hose routing, but did they run the 71-72 in front also? How do the 71-72 hoses fit?
