Bake line Issues

I bought the stainless steel lines from Inline Tube for my 1972 F250 2WD with drum brakes on all wheels. Does someone have pictures of all the lines in their truck? I am having an issue with the drivers side front. I'll also put a picture of what they sent me, but it is not anywhere close to what is in the truck. The piece that is in the truck goes from the proportioning valve into the frame by the steering box, out the bottom of the frame and up the the brake hose by the wheel.

I have tried to explain this to the guy I spoke to at Inline Tube and he seems to have no idea what I'm talking about. Has anyone else had an issue with this?

Is it at least long enough where it could be re-bent, or is it too short as well? My 4wd f250 had drum all the way around and I ended up making the brake lines. They are mild steel which isnt too bad to work with. SS, Ive read is a lot harder to bend and make double flares.

No, not long enough to bend it.

I had the same experience with prebent lines, a total wash. I cried once and bought the east wood flaring tool, a bunch of ends, rolls of brake line and have never have looked back. I bet for that single line you’re needing you could buy a roll of line from oreilly’s and a harbor freight flaring tool, cut the ends off the unusable prebent you have and make the piece you need for under $50.
