I'm working on replacing about all of my brake lines. I needed to get a new rear brake hose that goes from a connection above axel then drops down to a tee mounted on axel. Went to Nappa and asked for an 84 B11 hose. Have to order one and they have two different Co.s that make them. One was over $30 and the other very close to $30. Then I said well it's actually a first gen. X axel thats under it, but the threads are the same. Do you have one for that? Yes I do he says and I took a look at it. It was allmost the same thing except an inch shorter. The only differance was a slight angle that the lines screwed into and an extra bolt hole in the part that bolts on axel. I asked how much? He says $12, and I said I'll take it. That one inch is no biggie. What I'll most likly do is put a 1" or longer spacer between it and the axel. Just thought I,d let you know. If any body knows of a longer then stock length of 18" that someother ford truck uses and bolts right in, please post. A custom SS is out of budget right now. In mean time I'll use this one. Might be a good idea to have a place where we can post some $ saving ideas to keep these things up and running.
