I re-plumbed all the brake lines on the 51 also and after a few tries on double flaring on some scrap lines mine looked as good as the pre-flared lines the I bought from the parts house (But I did use a good double flaring tool) I say that because I bought a couple of cheapo's of of Ebay and you get what you pay for
LOL !
The one thing I would like to add (If I may) Is that if you going to replace the brake lines is to do all of them at once because it is 72 years old and if there is bad spots in one line that could only mean that the others are ready to go too as the corrosion starts on the inside and works outward...
While you're doing the job, you may as well just do it once, front to back, then you KNOW it's done right and never have to worry about it again, it really doesn't take that long to do them ALL so why not do it right so Dave doesn't have to come back again and again and again? LOL !!
And when you get that inspection it would sure be a lot easier on you that if when they check it they see all new brake lines and it will pass with no problems.
It would sure suck if the truck failed so why not just do it once front to back, On your 36 the brakes system probably don't get any more basic than that.
Your in good hands with Dave and Boyd I don't think you have anything to worry about Trev
Hopefully your master cylinder is good and even if it's not I wouldn't think one would be that hard to find...There might even be a rebuild kit it
just my 2 cents...
Good luck and have fun guys
Keep us posted !!!
