Brake line
I’ve got a 1975 f250 4x4 with drum brakes. I need to replace the small piece of brake line that goes from the front passenger side drum brake to the brake hose. How should I go about doing this? Do I have to bend it myself or can I purchase it somewhere? Thanks

Fine lines probably makes it, but you'd have to buy the set I would imagine.
Making your own is easy if you can find the proper length blank. any good parts store will have an assortment of brake likes is various sizes and lengths. measure yours with all the bends and see how close you can come to it, then just bend it to fit.
if you can't find the right length you can cut and flare it, you probably done have the tool but sometimes the store has a loaner, or just have someone flare it for you.
