SS Brake Hose advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BR3W CITY · 05-22-2017, 08:20 PM

So I'm running D52 Wilwoods up front, and stock drums on the 12bolt out back, and its time for some new brake hoses. I'd like to upgrade to stainless since, why not?! BUT I'm drawing a blank when it comes to picking the right parts.

Setup is: '66 C10 w/ 72 front p/s & p/b and Wilwood D52's. Rear is 72 12-bolt w/ stock drums.

I'm assuming a 72 c10 kit should fit my setup in terms of fittings? The only thing that could be different would be length due to my drop and slightly altered setup...right?

So, who do yall like for stainless brake hardware? Russel?
Lemme know, part #'s would be great.

I used the Russell lines on my '69 with a D52 style caliper. Summit carries them, I don't have the part #'s on hand, but their search function works great. They are very nice and even come with a protective sleeve over the SS line.

I had some ebay specials on before that, also SS, and they leaked almost from the beginning.

I ordered a front and rear set for my truck based on the search results...unfortunately, what showed up all appears WAY to short in terms of line length. Guess I gotta measure and see if I can order another setup a-la carte and hopefully get something that fits.
