Brake Line Size
I have a 95 2wd F-150 and need to replace the steel brake line from the Front left wheel junction to the right wheel. Anyone know the size of the tubing I need? 3/16", 1/4", Standard or metric bubble? Its my only means of transportation, therefore I need to pick up parts before tearing it apart.
Thanks

It unfortunately varies from year to year and even from truck to truck, especially if things have been replaced on the truck at one time or another in its history.
Like quicklook2 says, best bet is to take it apart and match everything up.

also, this sometimes turns into a nightmare.
just getting everything off is a challenge and sometimes other things need to be replaced also.
start soaking the bleeder and all your fittings today.
try line wrenches but you will probably need a set of channel locks.
i usually cut the line by the fitting and than use a six point socket to get the rest off.
get a friend to take you and plan on problems and be happy if you have none.
brakes have a way of breaking your *****.

i lived in l.a. for a long time.
here in ohio i bought a 3 bedroom house with a double garage in a good neighborhood for $70,000.
