    Does anyone have any pictures as to how to run the brake lines on a 51 Chevy pickup. I screwed up and didn't take pictures:eek: as to how these lines are supposed to go back in their respective locations. I have looked over the sight but the pictures aren't helping me too much. Thank You:confused:

    I already have the lines. I bought the kit from the sponsor. I just can't remember how the front lines go back on. I even kept the old ones but i can't get the front one to line up right.

    You will more than likely have to add a bend or 2 in order to make them fit.

    Fun with tubing bender

    I bent and flared my own lines using the old, crusty ones as templates. Took a really long time but came out perfect.

    The diagram you are looking for should be in the "Factory Assembly Manual"
