I replace the three brake line junction blocks on the rear. One on top of the axle and the two that connect to the wheel cylinders. Does anyone know if the blocks up front are still available? One by the front right brake and one on the left side under the passenger.

Jim Carter has the two different ones for the rear, which I already have. I'm looking for the ones up front. But, I'll look again. Sometimes I don't see things on Jim Carter until someone gives my a part# - I don't know why.

It’s been a few years ago, but I found them at a local NAPA store. Might be worth checking one near you. They might even be able to order them from their regional warehouse?
I do have my old ones. They were brown until I used the wire wheel. I'm just thinking since I'm building from scratch maybe I can replace them with new while I have easy access. Thanks for the ideas guys!

I would use the old ones ,you never know what they change up on new parts .not to say they will be any difference but I found a lot of the new stuff had slight differences.
Maybe I'm being a worrywart. The outside of the blocks cleaned up well and I tried to clean the connection area as well. I guess if they don't leak I shouldn't worry about it. Thanks for everyone's input.

I used the old division blocks on my brakes also, and didn't have any leaks. They were the only parts of the brake hydraulic system that I reused.

All of the blocks on my truck are 75 years old and they don't leak. I don't think they've ever been off the truck, either.
