Hey all I need input. 49 1/2 ton,old lines 1/4"..rear axle 3/16". New set from Inline Tube, lines on rear axle are 3/16" also BUT the treaded ends are to small for the brass blocks. Checked my other trucks,none match that thread size. I let the old girl sit all winter,(no heat) in the garage. I sure would like to see her roll now. Is it possible they put the wrong ends on? I know some had 1/4" rear lines from what I have read. Im frustrated.

Are your brakes Huck or Bendix? I can't remember when they changed over in the 1/2 ton.

Bendix lines, IINM, are of a smaller diameter and have different fittings than the older huck style do.

If you have Huck brakes, they may have sent you bendix lines. I'd verify the brake type and then call them and tell them that the fittings don't fit, and ask if they could have sent the wrong lines.
