Hy pontiacfarmer, welcome, are you sure this hose is just going to the right rear wheel, or is it feeding the whole rear axle? If it is just a hose to the right rear, then it is not stock, some pictures would help a lot.

Is a "hose" a steel line or a rubber hose? The normal setup is a steel line from each rear backing plate to a brass tee near the centre of the axle.

Hose generally refers to rubber. A line is steel. Steel lines are generally made by hand at home or in a shop. The black flexible hoses that we call rubber are purchased from a supplier.

I was asking Pontiacfarmer the question. I am fairly clear on what a hose is, thanks.

Hy pontiacfarmer, I have never seen anything like that, every truck I've ever seen has a steel line from the tee out to the wheel cylinder. I'd say someone put that in there somewhere along the way, is the wheel cylinder port a standard 1/4" inverted flare?

What you want eventually is steel line from the tee to each rear wheel cylinder.
