What size line do I need? The vacuum wipers will be handled by the fuel/vacuum pump. I will run a flexible line between the engine and the cab. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | It's been a long time but it seems like they used 1/2 hose for that.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

I can only find 3/8" or smaller line. Thanks in advance.

I is available at any truck parts house that carries stuff for air brakes. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 117 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2009 Posts: 117 | stoveboltkid,
i duno if this helps but i made my own. if you go to any parts store and find the right fittings to screw into the intake and hydravac you can simply slide 3/8 fuel line on it clamp it and off ya go

I is available at any truck parts house that carries stuff for air brakes. i also like this idea... with a heat gun you could "mold" the line to take any shape to contour and be out of the way for a custom look, im gonna have to experiment, thanks for the idea crenwelge!!!
