dp320 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I apologize for having to ask. I thought I'd save all three of the brake hoses but turns out I only have one--maybe because they were identical but I forget now. Could someone check the lengths of the front and rear hoses as shown below. I think I could make a pretty good guess based on suspension travel and good hose-to-fitting angles but if someone could get the measurements I'd sure appreciate it. I plan to order some since the rubber is all cracked up on mine. I found a place that does them custom for about $1/inch but am open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 There is a good chance the brake hoses use standard American 3/8-24 brake line fittings. I was able to get new rubber hoses for my 521 truck at a local auto parts store. Probably no need to have some specially made. Quote Link to comment

Conner Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 The parts I ordered were for a 1968 520. The front hose is Beck Arnley 073-1188 and the rear one is B/A 073-0259. I bought these because I believe they will fit but I have not done the brakes on my truck yet, so take them with a grain of salt. Maybe someone who has done their brakes here can chime in and confirm if they work or don't. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I used hoses from a early Chevy truck. They were the right length and the fitting thread size was the same. I think it's 3/8 x 24. They even had the same nut mounting the frame side. Quote Link to comment
