I need to replace everything between the proportioning valve and the calipers. Does anyone offer an all in one assembly or individual pieces that would make one? If not can anyone tell me what size line was used? Its for a 1979 F250 4x4 with dual piston calipers on the HP Dana 44HD. All I have from the old system are two badly rusted blocks that the banjo bolts went through at the calipers. I already have the calipers.

 

I have always had to go to the autoparts store and piece together,them brake hoses use to be available at napa,brake lines and fittings are easy to find until you find a odd fitting on one end, then you will be forced to learn double flare procedure.

 

Thanks Crop, I was trying to avoid this as the local NAPA guys are too young to know what it means to "build" something as opposed to do routine maintenance, or pay someone to make it work again.

 

you smetimes can find a hydraulic hose shop to custom build your hoses & lines. I no what you mean on counter people profesional parts personal are hard to come by.

 

The dealers usually only have access to the pre-bent lines of any platform until there is a product line change.

The only aftermarket choice that I know of is Classic Tube, which will have both steel and stainless steel stock. For the small price difference I would always go with stainless.

Thanks FMT, I think I'll give the a shout as I don't want a complete kit, I'm doing a really cobbled build. Kinda like that Johhny Cash song, "one piece at a time".

 

I'm sure they'll do that, but the kit price will be cheaper overall.
