Brake Hose Length

Converted front drum brakes on my 65 F100 by swapping out with a 76 Ford disc brakes, radial arms, I-beams etc. etc. I believe I need to change the hose bracket in order for the brake hose to fit, correct? What size length of brake hose do I need to purchase. Any help on getting the correct hose bracket and length hose would be much appreciated.

Just order the front caliper hoses for a '76 F100/F150. They will be the correct length needed and yes, the hard line-to-flexible caliper hose frame brackets needs to be changed.

Thanks for the info. Can and will do in regards to brake hose. Looking at your photo, that bracket on the frame looks a lot like what I have on the '65 frame that had drums. Should I get brackets off a donor or fabricate something or look for the brackets from a truck catalog parts supplier?

Your '65 brake line frame brackets should be just like the old brackets that were on my '69 F100 --like the one on the left in the following photo.

(HIO Silver's photo). Old style bracket on the left, newer style bracket on the right.


The brackets went to the newer style around 1971 but, they are definitely on the '73-'79 F100s and the '75-'79 F150s.
