I done the disc brake swap on my 69 4x2 using 79 front end. Am wanting to put all new brake lines front and rear. Anyone know of a good kit that has all the lines and is pretty much bolt and go?
Also doing the rear tank conversion and wondering if I can use the preformed gas line from the 73 to 79 ford trucks.
Keep in mind that you've got a hybrid application. Parts, like the disc/drum prop valve vs the drum/drum distribution block, may not be in the same location. Do your homework before ordering.
Thanks for the link. Yea I been trying to do homework on it. I posted here hoping someone had some ideas or had done it already and to see what they used.
I already have my mustang tank and fixin to get it installed. I have seen some guys use rubber lines all the way to the old steel gas line, but I am not sure on that. My motor is suppose to be ready in a cpl more weeks, so just wanting to get cracking on the these things. It is easier to do this with the motor out than in.
Hello fellow Arkansan. If you're trying to use fuel lines from a Dentside, remember that those trucks are a couple of inches longer than a Bumpside.
If the MC, brake valve, etc. are different in any way from what came on your truck, the prefabbed lines are likely to not line up with various ports and may also have the wrong size inverted flare fittings for various ports.
You would be better off to fabricate your own lines, since you can custom make them fit your specific application.
Here, I was in the process of making the new brake lines up, to connect to the new MC and the brake valve, when I converted my truck to front discs.
After I completed making all the lines to plumb the system up.
Camden is a little ways away, but not far. Ultraranger, what master cyl is that from? I am puttin a 460 in mine and am thinking I need a small booster.

Over the years, I've lived not too far from Jonesboro. I've lived in Searcy, North Little Rock, Conway and Batesville. I'm originally from the southeast part of the state. Now, I currently live in the south-central part.
My truck is a '69 F100. My brake booster is a dual diaphragm unit that came from a '75 F350. The MC is a new one I bought through NAPA (p/n M3246). It's for a '95 Ford Explorer. It has a 1-1/16" bore diameter. The MC has ISO metric bubble flare ports. The rest of the brake system has SAE (double) inverted flares/inverted flare fittings.
