Ok
So I have Bendix 3 3/8 disk brake calipers all around on my 51 COE.
I have 1.25 master cylinder bore mated to a hydroboost.
So, My question is what size brake lines do I run from the master cylinder to the distribution block, then from the distribution block to each caliper?
Thanks
Chris

I'd probably run 3/16 to each front caliper and over the rear axle.
1/4" for between MC and proprotioning valve and to the rear axle.

Use an original modern truck with similar/same components as your guide, what did they use? May as well benefit from GM's engineering.
