Brake line size?

[jessejames94]

Hello I got a kit from POL for power disk brakes with front end rebuild kit I also got upper tubular a arms bags, and bag brackets. I plan on running Schrader valves on front till I get my other parts for air ride. I'm planning on running new brake lines and was wondering what size to run , I'm also going to run a proportion valve that the kit provided. Any certain line to use?
All of this will be added to my 1966 c10 longbed fleetside

3/16 should be fine.

check the front brake hose for the tubing size..
see if its the same as the proportion/combination valve??

Do you know what to run? Like stainless steel ? That's the only thing I need . Until brake booster gets mounted.

If you're making your own bends and flares stainless is a bear to work with. I used a coated tubing from Advance Auto, I think called ArmorCoat or something. You get a big roll of it pretty cheap. I've done everything except across the rear axle so far.

For the bling factor some guys will go with the zinc coated standard stuff, polish with scotchbrite and spray with clear lacquer or acrylic.

For mine, disc/drum using a power booster and MC for a '73 and a CPP proportioning valve:

1/4" from the valve to the rear axle and then 3/16 to the drums.

Used 3/16 to each front disc.

I just purchased a roll of standard brake line from my local parts store and then bent and flared everything myself.

...also, with stainless, it would be best to use a single 37-degree flare system.
