    I can't speak with certainty about the drum brake setup, but I used OEM hoses from a '70s vintage Chevy pikup to plumb my discs.

    Just a thought: Do you think you'd have enough room to use a double-male flare fitting on the backside of the wheel cylinder, and that way you could just match up an OEM-style brake hose to go on the other end? OEM parts are almost always sheeper than the custom stuff..

    I'm using OEM lines from a Ford pick-up.

    I need to accomodate a 3" lift. Will OEM pickup lines be long enough? Actually cost isn't the issue. Strength, length and durability are more important. Wish I could find out what fittings were on those particular lines.:v6:
