Re: Front brake hoses too short for 2.5" drop spindles?

Apparently GM put the hose mount on the back of the cross member for 67-70 trucks and on the front for 71/72. So, if you buy a conversion kit (or conversion drop kit) for your 67-70 you don't have any problems because there is plenty of hose length, but for 71/72 trucks (and 71/72 cross member conversions) you have the hose in the front and it becomes too short when you drop the truck.
Have you asked Matt if he had any issues? He's pretty good about keeping part numbers and locations where he buys parts when he upgrades. I asked about a million questions when I installed my boyd tank.
