Copied your question from https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...e-routing.html below:
I have a 72 f100 I stripped to the frame a few years back. The paint shop threw away my brake lines. Was going to replace them anyways but I have nothing to go by. I bought a new pre-bent kit with horrible labels. I have the rear on at the wheels but there isn't a line long enough to go from the rear to the front. Does anyone know if it is two pieces and supposed to have a union? The kit didn't come with a union but don't see any other way this works. I cant find a diagram anywhere. Thanks.

I cant say on your 72 but my 81 flare side short bed truck did use a 2 piece line front to rear with a union.
As did my long bed parts truck. I think the factory only changed the rear part of that 2 piece to fit the different WB trucks.

I agree Dave. Plus packaging would be better from supplier to Ford. Then from Ford to either assembly line or a Dealership.

Appreciate all the feedback. I have the rear installed and ran to the front. I think I'm going to have to make lines for the front due to I converted to front disc brakes and power brake booster setup. Although I ordered the kit for power brake setup, I see no way these lines work. Does anyone have pictures of the front with power brake setup?
