Fuel and brake line ?'s

[brans87]

Gotta get started on why wife's 67 C10 I call Sandbag since that is what I have been doing here lately!

So bring me to ? of what size fuel line should I run in her 67 C10 with 400 Hp V8 Engine in the end.

Also what size brake line is recommended for this truck with rear drum brakes and Disc brakes up front from 83 C10?

Still not sure which material to use as SS is nice but pain to bend nicely. Any thoughts on what type brake/fuel line material you would recommended?

I do have the cool hydraulic flaring tool and plan on building a tube straightener I found plans for on the net.

Can't order lines when truck is not stock anymore with relocated gas tank,V8 and Disc brake's/sube frame from different year.

This will be a keeper for wife so want to do job only one time!

Thanks guys for advice in advance!

You could use 3/8" copper tubing or copper/nickel brake line for the fuel line--unless your feeding a top fuel dragster a 3/8" line should provide plenty of volume..both bend easily compared to steel and wont ever rust..

Square body trucks used 3/16" brake lines to the front brakes,and from the rear brake hose to the wheel cylinders ,and 1/4' from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve ,and from there to the rear brake hose at the rear axle..
