Thru frame brake fitting
NumberDummy or anyone who hasn’t the book available;
Can you please tell me what size the front thru frame fitting is for a 63F100
2wd?
Flex brake hose comes from wheel to frame fitting. Fitting connects the hard brake line.
Original fitting went to the grave when I took them off two years ago.
I can not find my ford parts books since my move to VA.
I’m putting the brake lines in (I bought the Uline pre-bent stainless steel thru NPD) opinion they are nice lines; but holy expensive. If I didn’t have to take my body armor to go to Napa thru the gun free zone of Newport News VA I probably would have bought plain steel.
Thanks!
Pictures because everyone loves pictures.
I am also installing a 68-72 ford F100 dual master cylinder in place of the single original.
From this in 2012
(When I moved this summer)

It should all be one piece. Frame side fitting is crimped on the rubber line. At least they are on my '63. Are you buying new front lines? If so they should come with everything.

So I dug around and found my book too last night after work. I see on the diagram ND posted for the 2WD.
I bought this truck from a guy who worked at Napa and probably grabbed what he could find in the stock to do a brake job. However the lines were so flipping old and rusted when I took them off
. He only owned it a year. From what I can surmise the truck was a farm truck for years before hand,
Anyway, I pulled up a summit screenshot of what it was. I looked like this but super rusted and spun forever.
In the 4wd breakdown in the red circles issort of what I was talking about.
So today- I took a day of liberty and will climb back under the truck to finish installation of the brake lines and whatnot.
I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
Thanks!

In case anyone was wondering. The outside threads (where the horseshoe clip is squeezed on) is 3/8 od pipe thread.
The brake hose clamps I bought from NPD didn’t fit right. In the catalog it said it was for my 63. Tag said 66-90 bronco, which I can believe but for whatever reason I couldn’t get them to hold my brake hose to the frame.
The supplied horseshoe clip that came with my brake hoses would just spin. I could t get them tight enough with any pair of pliers or snap ring plier. If they had a hole in them like a snap ring may end it would have worked. Going to the big house autoparts stores will get blank stares when you ask for a brake hose clip.
I ended up using a plumbing fitting cut down to use on the outside threads.
It’s not factory, it’s not perfect but it fits and functions.
