Brake Line Set Recommendations 68 K10 Shortbed

[Dave K.]

Thanks as well for your input. My main concern is with the long line front to rear as the rest look pretty sound. I might just fab my own for that section. Warmer weather coming, will report what the direction I go and post results.

Straight lines and the hardline on the axle are easiest to make with some store bought straight lines. Pretty easy. Check your local stores, they normally have several lengths of different diameter lines. Run 3/16"

I just buy lines from the auto parts store pre-flared. There is so many sizes available I did not even have to cut and flare any lines. I use brake tube bending pliers, you can make tight or sweeping bends. I laid out my original lines and copied the bends and stuck new lines back in. Easy and fun!

On edit: I also worked my way up to the the master and took up slack in the brake line coiling under the dist block.
