I haven't run across any vendor that supplies them as a kit. My guess is they are only made for the more popular half tons. You may have to buy the brake line bending/flaring tools and bend them yourself.
Are you still at the IGA in Winfield? I'm just up the road a few miles. I'd be interested in seeing your rig.
After reading your old posts, I happen to know of a 2ton that is pretty close that we could take pictures of the brake lines. I'll check my parts book to see if there is a diagram for the larger trucks.

Good to hear from someone so close. I don't think I have met you before, but if I did I apologize. I do not work for IGA, but do work for Dierbergs out of Chesterfield. I would like to talk more, and would welcome you to come by and see my truck in pieces,as I have just started putting it back together.
Thanks
Kevin

I have made a number of lines both in steel and stainless, three complete trucks worth and then some. It may take a few trys to get it right, don't be afraid to throw one away and start over, I have many times.
