Brake line fitting size
...Well the time has come where I don't like the way my brake lines look running to the back of the truck. Question is, What size are the fittings on the ends of the lines? I know I will have to special order the line that goes from the frame rail down to the rear axle tube, but is the line that goes from there to mid way frame rail a standard size? I dont want to have to order that if I dont have too.
Thanks

When the one on my truck blew I brought the line to autozone to get the correct length. one end on the Ford line was metric where the other was standard. I don't remember which was which but do remember buying a short section of line with one metric and one standard fitting and a union to join it to the lone line. I bent it myself and put a put of a loop in to take up the excess length of tubing.

Had this on my 1999 a few years ago. The line might be a two parter with a union right around where the fuel filter is. End by the filter was standard where the end by the rear axle had metric threads. I bought a long line with metric ends at autozone and bent that to fit. I also bought a short metric to standard conversion line and a metric union to attach it to the long metric line going to the rear.
Worst part was dealing with the ***** at autozone.
