Now that i own a set. :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | It depends on the heat treatment. Annealed lines are softer, less prone to cracking when bent, and can be flared if needed.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

It is on my list to call this week and find out what is up. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 428 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 428 | The only problem I had was getting them to seal. Had to loosen and tighten a few times and really torque down on the fittings, so much so I was afraid of stripping,breaking them. | | |

We pooled our resources and got 15% off of normal price + shipping for 6 sets was the same for a single set, so I think we did ok.

AND TO KEN, What are the six sets of lines going into? IF there is a 46 truck in the bunch could you or the owener check to see if IN the pass side tube that goes to the frame clip then to wheel and see if there is a rust red powder in it.  This tube is a very tight bend and is almost a full circle . mine had this powder in it. IM HOPEING that the powder is used to keep the tube from kinking when bent because of the small radius of the bend. Has anyone seen this in any other tubeing bends. :confused: | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | All chevy 3100's ranging from '49 to '53 (pickups and suburbans).
Note - the '49s and '50s have 1/4" lines and the newer trucks have 3/16" lines. Not all are this way so you have to double check. | | |
