Need longer front soft brake line - help!

Well, I finally got around to cutting some stock lower arms so the airbags dont rub (and I sit a lot lower) but now my soft brake lines are too short. They reach, but they are tight and old...so I need new ones, but they need to be longer than stock. Truck is a 68 C10 longbed, front drums.

I did some searching and someone mentioned that the 3/4 ton lines are longer but share the same ends. According to an old LMC catalog I have they are the same part number, so Im guessing they are not any longer, anyone have any info on this?

Obviously I am open to any other ideas as well. I am hoping to get everything finished up this weekend and back on the road monday so a custom stainless order isnt really in the cards, an off the shelp parts store solution would be the best.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

You can use NAPA's site to confirm length and ends. Just look up your truck, note the length and end types and then try some others. I used 69 Camaro hoses on my Chevelle to fit disks, they may be long enough for your application.

thanks for the info, wasnt aware they had that info. Looks like front hoses from a 67 Chevy II should work, almost two inches longer and the same ends....we'll see

thanks again
