Brake lines???

I've done a McGaughy 12" disc brake conversion on the front of my 65. I still have the drums in the rear. I haven't decided on a master/booster/prop valve yet. I'm wanting to run my brake lines before I put the cab back on the frame. What size steel lines do I run? Do you use different sizes for the drums and discs?

Any advice on some nice sleek master/booster/prop valve? Something that is fairly small and clean looking?

Re: Brake lines???

When I converted my '69, I used the master and prop valve out of a '75 with stock sized lines. I didn't think about running different sizes and everything went together perfect.

Re: Brake lines???

Thanks Jimmydean. Did you use stock sized lines for the 75, the 69, or are they the same?
