Need to purchase brake lines, both soft and hard lines. Would prefer not to make my own with a flare kit. Please let me know where I could purchase direct replacement. Getting the run-around from a salvage inspection place. Don't want to give them any more work.

 

They sell hardlines, already flared, in a variety of lengths at any autoparts store. Take off the old ones, measure them and get the approximate length. Then you can bend them, usually by hand, to the correct shape. They sell flare adapters too, so you can connect sections of brake lines together. It'll be cheaper than buying a direct replacement and a lot easier to get ahold of too.

The soft ones probably have a part number, check at any auto store.

 

So, what are those part numbers, or a link to an online store that doesn't want a first born in exchange for said parts.

 

The soft ones are available on Rockauto.com.

I agree with Doostien... Rock Auto or 1A Auto. Hard lines, I'd buy at the local parts store and get my self a flaring tool kit and cut the lines that end up too long after fitting them to the truck. It would be just about as factory as you could get. Flaring tools cost all different prices. The cheep ones don't work very well all the time and you end up with a line that's too short. Get a good one! $50.00 or more! A great addition to the tool box and a good excuse for getting a new tool.

 

Any parts store will have pre-made brake lines in stock in various lengths. There will be some hokeyness if you absolutely don't want to cut anything and reflare it to fit.

You may need nut adapters, I have never done one of these trucks so I don't know exactly, but in Fords of my past there have been some non-standard line nuts generally at the proportioning valve and the master cylinder. I took the old ones off the old line and put them on the new line, but you can also buy inverted flare adapters. Napa definitely sells them, and are usually smart enough to be able to get you the one you're actually looking for.
