I'm plumbing my dual MC to the front brakes and have lost the original lines and mounting points. Could someone please snap a pic or two of the tee and where it is mounted on the front of the frame? I'm assuming up near the steering box and then the line follows the rad support across to the drinker's side of the truck.
Thanks!

That's a good one. I'm going to start referring to the left side of the vehicle as "the drinker's side", too!

Don't know if it's similar to AD trucks, but if so, 'my '51 has a division block (tee) located on the passenger's (drinker's) side. The brake line comes up the right side of the frame and splits just behind the axle, with a line running across the front crossmember. Here's a pic. If yours runs along the left side, it may be similar, but reversed.

Nice, thanks for the pic. Now that I'm looking at it, coming from the MC to the bellhousing crossmember and across will avoid the exhaust routing as well. Thanks again!

Here's a clip from the 1929-1954 Parts Catalog showing routing and lengths for brake lines for 1941. I consolidated the diagram with the length chart for 1941 vehicles. If you notice that none of the models shown routed a brake line up the left side of the frame (line designated BL. That means that your 41 should be very similar to my '51 routing. I wouldn't be surprised if it uses the same division block that attaches thru the frame in a hole with 2 flat sides to keep it from rotating. The division block looks like the second picture (the two different PN's are probably for different size connections, but the one at the front is for 1/4" lines, IIRC)
