Well, I ordered a complete brake line set from a vendor and low and behold they are not even close. Used their "compatible vehicle " tool and yeah, it showed a match, but no it doesn't. So here's my confusion after doing some research. The Factory Assembly Manual for 1947- 1954 details the brake line part numbers for the 3600 Left Drive in Section 5 , and does not reference different part numbers for the model years. With this in mind, why would the vendors list individual "kits" for the different model years. Does anyone know where the brake line part numbers might be listed other than the Assembly Manual? I didn't find any information on them by using the GM parts Wiki.

Also an interesting find in the shop manual is that 3100 series trucks have 3/16 OD Brake tubes except the cross over from the master cylinder to the junction block on the passenger frame rail which is 1/4 " OD tube. The 3600 and up trucks use only 1/4" OD tube.

Any suggestions ladies and gentlemen?
