67 F100 Front Brake Fit Problem
I have new front brake hoses that will not fit. The brake cylinder end just touches the king pin enough where it will not thread in. The fittings on the old ones, factory I assume, are just a little smaller in diameter and about 1/4" or so longer.
I've tried BrakeBest, #BH49927 and Duralast #88423. Next up will be NAPA #UP 36531 and Carquest/Advance #BHA4992.
Anybody have a good part# that will work?
Thanks!

Just discovered that while the larger diameter fitting of the new hose doesn't help, it's the brake cylinders that are causing the problem. The angle of the fitting hole is at an angle that moves the hose fitting closer to the king pin.
Now I need to find a correctly made cylinder. Right now NAPA is my only hope. Everyone else in town either doesn't carry it, the fitting angle is wrong or the bleed screw is pointing straight at the king pin and not angled away from it.
Sigh...

Absolutely. We're talking an error of a couple degrees. The hose fitting will almost thread in but its cocked a very small amount, enough to cross thread if continued. It's that close to clearing the king pin.

The NAPA cylinders did the trick! You can see in the first pic how close things are with the new hose and cylinder. The other shows the improved clearance due to the factory hose fitting's smaller diameter and longer length. With the last new cylinders I tried the fitting was moved to the right towards and beyond the king pin.
The part #'s of the NAPA cylinders are 37083 and 37084
