Flex hose - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I own a 65 Chevy truck. I went to disc brakes up front and now need a flex hose to fit from a stock location to the caliper. Does anyone have any ideas what hose might fit? Thanks, Angie

What calipers are you using? If they are stock, squarebody calipers, I think a stock hose would work for you as well.

The kit I purchased came with new hoses, so I could be totally wrong here

Calipers are stock GM @ I think they are called D52.

Yeah, you should be able to get a hose at your local parts store of choice. Maybe try asking for a hose for a 71-72 c10?

Did you get parts from a junkyard truck, or did you purchase a kit?

The '71-'72 hoses and calipers are different than the '73-'87 calipers and hoses. They are both D52 calipers. I would suggest the '73-'87 hoses unless you know for a fact that the calipers are '71-'72.
