Another Brake question
I just bought a 79 f250 4x4 I was told it needed the front brake line put on(Pass side) . The guy gave me a brand new line which he had started to bend. I got it to fit on the caliper fine but when I crossed under the oil pan and ran it to the box on drivers side frame I noticed the fitting does not fit in the box. After looking at both ends I noticed the fitting are the same on both end So Im guessing either A. One fitting is suppose to be bigger then the other and the guy just put the wrong fitting on one end. Or B. I poss ran the line to to wrong spot. Also Autozone only carries pre fab brake lines with the same size fitting on each end And no fittings
So my questions are
Are there 2 size fittings?
Where did the factory run? Because I ran my under the oil pan is that correct?
If there are 2 different size fittings anyone know the sizes and or have a parts numbers?
Till what Year did the brake lines run like this? Could I possibly find one on a 80's 90's truck at a junk yard
Anyone have a pictures diagrams of the brake setup My Chilton Manual sux

Yes there are..if the line will still be long enough you can file off the flare ..put the right size end on it and reflare the end.
Where did the factory run?
There is no definitive illustration to view for the correct pathway of brake lines.....you will need an experienced answer
Because I ran my under the oil pan is that correct?
I think is goes across on the cross member
If there are 2 different size fittings anyone know the sizes and or have a parts numbers?
any parts house will have both.
IIRC, There are also single flare & double flare fittings. 1/4"- 3/8" comes to mind.

When I bought my pass. side caliper hose from autozone it was about 3foot of metal line connected to rubber hose for the caliper.I guess a 78 f150 4wd is different from a f250.And it only cost me $15.00
