The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline 59 Chevy 3100 Brakeline route

First post so beat me up gently. Trying to restore a 59 Apache back to factory specs, minor upgrades along the way. I've just ordered a pre bent 7 piece kit and was hoping someone has pictures or diagrams of this. the kit just doesn't seem to match up, I've got the factory assembly manual but not the supplement one. any guidance would help!

there was different flavors of routing thru the TF years, and maybe among different assembly lines as well .... rear axle 'splitter' might be on drivers or pass side, and front/rear split is sometime on pass side, best bet is.... punt or you could try matching various line lengths at a FLAPS and bending them yourself

Section 5, page 1 (page 315) should give you a basic idea on how they were routed. However, as Bill mentions, there were not only running changes, but also differences from plant to plant.

thanks fellas, ive been scratching my head while looking at the drawing on pg. 315 for the last couple nights. While tearing down the old truck there were a few complete lines that i saved and have matched up with the new line but that was only 3/7. phone got soaked and lost pic of deconstruction :/ but i remeber one line running across the engine cross memeber? still green but whats FLAPS?

FLAPS.. Friendly Local Auto Parts Store

yes, there should be one running across the back side of the front crossmember feeding the RF wheel.

would it be odd that there isnt a BL bracket in front of the rear axle hump on the frame?
