Longer brake hose

I swear I searched around for this and couldn't find an answer, although I found a couple of threads where someone had asked the same question but didn't get a answer.

I was trying to find a longer rear brake hose for my '73 CJ5 project. I've been using Raybestos parts and I searched around on their website but didn't come up with anything. I sent an email to their tech support asking for a 4" longer version of their part number BH380004, which is listed as 18" long, and their response was they couldn't help.

So, I started digging around on NAPAs site. First I started with looking up their part number for the rear brake hose, it came back with UP 380004, but more importantly they gave the specifications:
Hose End Type 1 : 3/8"-24 Double Junction
Hose End Type 2 : 7/16"-24 Female
Overall Length : 18"

Then I did another search for rear brake hoses without any application specified, and was able to drill down by:

• Brake Systems
• Hoses, Cables & Bleeder Screws
• Brake Hose - Rear
• 3/8"-24 Double Junction
• 7/16"-24 Female

There were several lengths listed, it looks like the UP 381272 at 22.375 inches will work. NAPA lists the application as 2000-2007 Silverado and Sierra. Going back to Rockauto.com I came up with Raybestos part # BH381272.

Maybe this will help someone else in their search.
