Hey guys,

I need a little help on how to install my front frame to axle brake hose.

7" Extended Front Axle Hose

My truck is suppose to be a 77 F150. I don't have the hole in the frame where the brake hose would go through in the bottom part of the c - channel. I also don't see how the block can mount to the axle.

The factory front axle line had a piece of hard line going from the proportioning valve to a block on the frame and then from there a rubber hose down to the block/bracket that mounted to the axle.

The factory brake block mounted to the side of the pumpkin but there isnt a way for this one to mount like that. There's a bolt on the top of the axle I could get a longer one of but then the block is in the wrong spot for the lines that go to the calipers.


I could really use some help here.

Thanks

First have you got room to drill a hole in the frame.
It would help to post pictures on the axle mount problem.

 

Finally got around to taking some pictures. I know someone must have used the superlift extended hoses from JBG. I'm thinking I might have to make a little bracket for the front axle block on the hose.

 

bump. nobody has used one of these hoses?

 

I've got that hose, I haven't put it on yet but mine mounts up just where the stock stuff is... I was just looking at it today. if I remember I'll take a picture.

 

Here is my factory hose... Mounts the same as that aftermarket; bolts to the frame. It does not route through a hole in the frame.



I am not 100% certain on the years but I think up to 77 was like this; 78 & 79 went through the frame.

 

mine does route through the hole in the frame. Perhaps they changed the routing in '78. Not sure. I was busy all day and didn't have time to take a pic.

 

I have seen some that do go through the frame but believe they have all been 78 & 79.
