I am in the process of updating my 65 c30 brakes to disc. I received a pair of spindles, new rotors and new calibers real cheap. I now know why. It's hard to find the brake hoses for it.
Someone suggested getting them custom made Teflon/Stainless Steel but at $35 a pieces plus shipping... I said ouch.
Does anyone know who has the OEMs in stock or should I get the custom ones so they don't need replacing as often as the OEM ones?
Thanks.. Russ

Well if I remember correctly from the days when I sold parts this was a time when GM decided to redesign there brakes on there 3/4 and one ton truck. There was a period of time when the brake hoses changed each year nothing was stardard for more then a year or two. $35 isn't bad price. If someone has the originals on there shelf they are going to get at least 30 each. Good luck

Thanks for the advise on the price. You are probably right $35 a piece isn't that bad.
I had tried Napa and CarQuest but they both don't have, nor carry anymore since they have been discontinued.
Thanks again everyone for your advise!!

The part #,s are 36678(R) 36679(L). You might call them. They are all connected on computer & some warehouse might have them. If not see if a helpful parts man will compare your old one to one for a1973. There may not be much difference.

I bought my 71 dually front brake hoses from Kenny's Trucks in Oklahoma. He's a real stand up guy and ships quick. Cost was 40 per pair. www.kennystrucks.com is his website. Don't worry if his website doesn't list them specifically, Kenny is a guru, and will have them.
