I'm doing a rear brake conversion on the flareside. I have already installed a hydroboost and master cylinder from a 1997 F-Superduty, I'm just looking for a little more stopping power.

I have purchased a set of Wilwood dual piston calipers for the front of a 1976 Chevy 1/2 ton, brackets from Ruff Stuff Specialties, and 1996 Ford E-350 rear brake rotors from Carquest.

I'm looking to see what you guys have used for lines and hoses.

Thanks for your help

I ended up just having new rear stainless braided lines made. Replaced from the drop at the frame to calipers. Only cost me about $130 with all fitting to hook it all up.

My local industrial hyrdaulics hose shop has the ability to make brake hoses in any length with any fitting we need.

Nate,
I just used old chevy rubber lines for the calipers from the trucks.

You should have said something before, I ripped all that off the old white drag truck, it's all just sitting in a box collecting dust!!

I ran into this too for mine Nate. Ford part # AC34-2267-A, SD part. We're flushing the block off the line, drilling & tapping it out to fit the factory rear lines so it'll still have the ability to go back to rear drums in the future if need be for any reason.
