The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline How to work with this brake hose?

Thanks for the info. Yeah, Rockauto has great pricing including the s/h. But obviously I'm giving up personal counter service, which I'm now regretting.

So, if I stayed on this route, will the shorter (wheel cylinder) hose-end also be able to fit into the tight spot above the kingpin?

Or to try and correct my plans, I'm now wondering if the wheel cylinders I also picked up are the right ones. They are Raybestos WC14493/4 (7/16" port) for 1/4" lines (as is the hose in question).
These were the only size specified for this truck. And that info is also common at Lordco and on most websites.

But my existing front wheel cylinders, hose (with the extension tube) and lines are 3/16" (with 3/8" port).
And I'm not sure if even the 1/4" WC above will be a direct physical fit.

I can't seem to locate anything designated for the fronts other than for 1/4" plumbing ..the rears, yes.
Hence, my purchase.

If I knew of a 3/16" WC part number that also fits, then I could just put that in instead, and a proper hose would fit. It'd be status quo, only with new parts.

The specialty vintage parts sites won't provide the manufacturer's part number -- for obvious reasons.
