Finding replacement brake line

My 76 f150 needs a new brake line but I can't find it anywhere. It's the line that connects to the front differential and splits 3 ways, left front disc then the right front disc and the last one goes back to the frame (proportioning valve I think). I've looked on rock auto and LMC truck, the closest thing I can find is the 78 f series 4wd front center brake line. If I can use that line please let me know, any help is appreciated!

To add, O'Reilleys has the ones that go to each caliper. Bronco graveyard will have the one that goes up to the frame with the 3 way block on the end.

There are THREE front brake hoses, not one (see pic below). The right & left hoses thread into a brass block that is part of the hose to the valve.

1976 F100/150 4WD:

D6TZ-2078-A .. Right Hose & Tube Assy / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 7 = 800-543-4959.
------------------------------------------------------------------
D6TZ-2078-B .. Left Hose & Tube Assy / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. has 24.
-----------------------------
1972/75 F100 4WD; 1976 F100/150 4WD:

D5TZ-2078-F (replaced D2TZ-2078-A) .. Hose-from Brake Pressure Differential Valve to front axle / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Inline tube has complete brake line kits for these trucks. Just bought a full set of stainless lines for my 78' short bed, very nice stuff and fast shipping.

Based on your pictures numberdumny is pointing you in the right direction. Of the 3 lines comming from that block only 1 is part of the block itself. You shoukd be looking for

shop.broncograveyard.com/mobile/Front-Axle-Brake-Hose/pr

It will bolt to the fromt axel and the line will run back to your pro valve. Then your two lines from each wheel screew into the block. Dont get cought up on if it looks a little different. Who knows what brand is on it now. All the block does is act as a 3 way junction

Ta-dah.........

... might wanna power wash your axles. To me it's more "work" than fun when wrenching on a filthy truck.

Yes! I was wondering if the one from bronco graveyard would work, thanks fellas.

​​​​​Unfortunately I don't have a pressure washer, so I once I get the brake lines replaced it's going to the diy carwash for a nice under side cleaning. I have more than a few cans of degreaser waiting to be used for this project!

I've had this truck for 2 years and maybe driven it 50 miles. Before it is road worthy there are 2 things that need to be done, brake lines and emissions. Can't wait to finally give this thing a good test drive.... Then convert the full time 4wd to part time lol.

Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it!
