The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Need detailed pics of front brake line routing

I know this is an old thread, but how close will this be to a 1971 C10? The reason I ask is that I have a 1960 Suburban and bought the stainless steel brake line kit from CPP and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to run them.

They sent me some pics, but I think it was a '71 as the lines run outside the frame rails, it appears. On my '60 they have to run on the inside and they confirmed that. I finally figured out which vertical line is the front and which is the rear.

Part of my issue is I don't yet have the master/booster/proportioning valve assembly as I've been trying to wait until some already purchased parts are installed. I hate sitting on parts. I've also ordered the bracket from CaptainFab and thus not sure if the CPP master/booster is the way to go or just go with the ones known to fit with the Captain's bracket.

I think part of the confusion is that they don't appear to use the factory mount points, so everything seems to be loose. Hopefully I can also find a good way to secure these to the frame and/or crossbar.
