I have a 1953 3100 5-window 1/2 ton with a chevy 350 and a th-350. I am currently laying out my new front brake lines and I am having issues on where to place the front t-block. I figured it should be centered but of course there is a engine and a trany in the way. I have the rear location on my new chevy 10 bolt. that was the easy one...
any thoughts? also note the body is on the truck.

After you bleed your brakes, all lines and cylinders are filled with fluid. When you apply your brakes, all pressurized equally.
