Why can't you buy the kits from truck stores? Only universal kits. How much line is needed to reline a 59 Chevy short bed? I guess I will have to buy a brake line tool kit too.

Thank you for your time.

I bought mine at Inline tube. There were great to work with once we sorted out that short beds and long beds have some different sized tubes. They sent me the right ones after the folks here at the 'bolt helped me figure out what was what.

i pieced mine together from the stock lengths of 3/16th available at flaps. bought some connectors and T's & ran to the new brake master power booster, front to rear and vise-versa to the disc's. buy two good flare wrenches to make all connections tight. the local brake shop re-did my double flares where i needed them cut to fit. i put stretched 1/4'' springs over all lines for protection. the surplus springs were about 60cents ea. and came in 16'' lengths, so i stretched them to about 30''. it took about two days.
