Forgot to mention I used the a Harbor Freight flare tool. Not the best but with the copper it was so easy to flare and form everything worked fine. I cut a small section of each and kept practicing until I was happy with the flares. Even if its not perfect the flared nuts can kind of shape it...

Yeah I finished the brake and frame job late last summer. I have a bit leftover but messed up a couple sections being my first time so the extra was nice. Thanks for the info, should help others. Couldn't help you with the master cylinder stuff and disks on the rear. I re-did all my bearings...

No, I left what was on it, a lot of it was actually hard line, only a few joints were rubber at the fuel tank, probably a few more further up but I didn't bother since it all looked fine. If you wanted to replace it all with rubber line then you would likely need about 15-18 feet. If you plan...

Blew drivers rear brake line off the wheel cylinder today. Luckily I had no load or trailer and was at a gas station about to pull out when I felt pedal get soft. I crimped it off and was about to fill reservoir when I noticed the front and rear are separate. In the end I drove home just fine...

Blasting the bed worked out much better than I hoped. I should have clarified I just kept running into problems with the blasting unit haha. First it wouldn't adjust the flow of the media, then when we fixed that the ceramic fitting the hose connects to, got thin & cracked then flew off spraying...

Thanks, I planned to do it right the first time and be done with it, truck will be dead before the copper nickel lines give out so I might as well. I just ordered a bunch of 3/16" & 1/4" inverted flare fittings and hope that's all I need on top of 1 union fitting. I think its odd the TM shows...

what size fitting What flare is on these trucks? Standard or Double Flare? In the master parts list TM I see a Union fitting. From the rear diagram it shows NSN/Part # 9432075 to the rear of the fitting, and NSN/Part # 137397 to the front, both of which I have no clue what sizes are or if...

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to be sure 25 Ft of each length would suffice to replace all my lines. Am I going to run into a problem where I need 15 different sized fittings or are there only 2-3 different sized fittings throughout? I get the feeling its going to end up being a repair...

Checked the TMs and I managed to find one size using GM part number 603827 and its 1/4" brake tubing. There are other brake lines under different part numbers but I just cannot find what size it is. I'm guessing the truck has sections of 3/16" and 1/4" brake line so I should buy a coil of...
