Title: Brake line schematic
Post by: Orlando87Chevy on July 17, 2012, 06:25:34 pm

I have a 87 1/2 ton shortbed that im looking for a schematic for how the brake line is ran to the rear. I know it runs in the side frame rail but I want to make sure everything is ran properly. I bought all new brake lines but there's no schematic on how they go. I had the frame stripped and powder coated and I don't remember how the lines went. Help!

I looked arround and i dont have any pictures, but look for the holes in the frame that have threads in them and follow those.

Unfortunately the picture doesnt help me much. It does show the mounting locations. And trying to find the threaded hole is almost impossible because of the powder coating. I should have taken pictures.

Are you wanting to know where the brake lines go or where the mounting points go?

There was a well-done post with pictures on the 67-72chevytrucks website, but it was for a 71 or 72 truck. You can go there and do a search for "brake line" and find it. Or, here's the link-
