Finally had time to get to work on the truck. Got the engine running, but before I install it I installed the new dual master cylinder and booster under cab. When I install brake lines should I use 3/16" or 1/4" line? I will probably use copper line. Do I just need to use a "t" block to split the line to the front and rear to each wheel? I have drum brakes all around for now. Also have the proportioning valve for each line that is for the drum brakes.
So I want to be sure to use the right size line and make sure I don't need any other type valves or other things.
