I have a '59 Apache 31 panel and have been laughed out of several parts stores and one Chevy dealer when I showed them the fittings I was looking for. They told me that no such thing exists. I know I took it off of my truck, so I don't know what the problem is. I am replacing the entire brake system, so I really need the new fittings (connectors) to complete it. Can anyone help me? Thanks....

They were the only parts that I could not find at the local auto parts stores. I tried Carquest, NAPA, Autozone and O'Reilly's and none of them had the fittings. It looks like Jim Carter has just about anything a guy could want. Thanks again....
