Brake Lines Copper or Steel

[82Diesel]

Inline tubing is what I use they are in Michigan. I got all my stainless tubing nuts and rolls of nicop from them. They have kits just for square bodies too . They sell the stainless braided lines with the clear coating in any length you need .

Awesome, I'm just going back to Factory with my truck.
Just Plain Jane.

Found the website.

Got another question Jim. It showed on a pair of Lines "Carberated V8" Is there a Difference between the V8 Gas Brake lines and the 6.2L V8 Diesel? Considering 3/4 Ton And Up use the Hydro-Boost instead of Brake Booster. Thanks.

Not sure on that one .l changed master cylinder 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton and the line were switched .

I'll have to send them an email... they are only about 45 mins from me
I'd bet shipping is a lot.

Plumbing copper yes. But there is nickel coated copper (sometimes called nicop) for sale that is dot rated. My local O’Reilly auto parts carries in in sticks right next to the steel lines. Can also get it in a big roll and make your own, it’s super easy to bend and flare. If you’re in an area of salt/de icer chemicals on the road I would only use the nicop lines. At least you won’t have to worry about ever doing them again.

I won't dispute that.

I've used them. Great products! No complaints here.

It's no big deal, but just be aware that when they ship your order, the "preformed" lines get packed into a cardboard box. The box is approximately 36" X 14" X 6" for a 9 piece set. To get the lines into a box that size, it is necessary that the long ones be gently bent. When unpacking, the permanent shaped bends will remain but the long radius bends - those created to get the lines into the box - will need to be straightened out.

Check out inline tube. They have pretty good prices and offer stainless and OE steel. I believe the stainless is harder to work with, but its all prebent so that shouldnt be too much of a problem.

I bought their stuff for my 64 Skylark project I sold. They were able to get me lines pretty close to my frankenstein brake setup that was all from a 99 f body minus the ABS.

While we're discussing this, does anybody have an opinion of Classic Industries vs Inline Tube? At some point I'm going to have to commit to stainless but I only want to do it once.

Yep, used those on a 1941 Dodge to replumb the power brake setup. Super flexible and corrosion resistant.

I used the Ni-Cop to re-plumb the brakes on a whole car (91' Caprice, for what it's worth). Worked great, and easy to work with.

I miss that car lol. Been trying to find another since about right after I sold it. Probably my worst case of sellers remorse. It had the original 225 Fireball. 64 Came with either the 225 v6 or the 300 v8. I bought a mid 70s SBC to put in there with a 2004r to go behind it. Had a 3:23 posi so that wouldve made a fun car.

I recently found a 65 Grand Sport with the 401 nailhead but it was swiss cheese and theres no way I can fund a project like that.
