Kudos to Katahdin for the part numbers!

What I ended up doing: I took the NAPA part number above and ordered the armored 51" line so it would look similar to the others on the truck (only shiny). :) I found that the line can almost be hand bent to shape with the armor on it. 51" is just a tiny bit longer than stock I think but...

^^^ Those look pretty good if the NOS ones don't pan out. The threading on the fittings was another issue I wasn't sure how to verify on an off the shelf tube. Known good is - GOOD!

Got a double flare tool and gave it **** but had no luck. Waste of money. If anything requires any sort of finesse, I'll **** it up in short order. Leaks at the fitting now. I guess I'm going to be looking for a brake line. I need the one for the passenger side front-rear axle.

I am finally getting around to fixing a leaky wheel cyllinder on the rear axle. Of course I cannot fix anything without breaking something else in the process. While removing the brake line from the cylinder, I tweaked the line and it sheared at the fitting. I would like to cut the line...
