I am preparing to do a complete replacement of all brake lines on my 1950 3100 truck, and I am wondering if I should spend the extra money and upgrade to stainless steel lines? I know that over time moisture will collect in brake fluid and that will cause rust in an original steel line. I just don’t know how bad the rust would be and how long it would take before it caused a significant problem? The lines on my truck are original and still function well. I just thought that while I was doing a complete brake overhaul complete with master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and drums, that I would go ahead and replace the brake lines too. If anyone would care to share their opinion or experience with me I would appreciate it.
