Hi all,
I’m looking for the brake line sizes for a ‘70 C10.
What line on the rear axle?
The line to the front frame cross members.
To the master/prop valve.
To the front wheels.

I got this truck disassembled and have no idea. Anyone have pictures for a fella?

Thanks.

I installed a dual pot MC in my son’s 1968. No booster yet. New 1/4” copper/nickel lines to the front drums and 3/16” lines to the rear. I have an adjustable brake bias valve in the rear brake line circuit too.

Do you have disc brakes up front? They were standard in 1971...probably an option in 1970.

If you have the disc brakes, the master cylinder and combination valve will guide you on the line sizes.

Disc brakes were not available in '70, became standard in '71.

I have converted the front to disc brakes, hence another reason why I don’t know what is exactly supposed to be there.

So you should have one of these: https://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/172-572.html

The diagram shows the fitting sizes. I took the combo valve with me to the auto parts store when I bought the lines to make sure I had the correct fittings.
