Re: Front brake hoses too short for 2.5" drop spindles?
Glad you got it working. Hose length wasn't an issue on my 68, but the shape of the fitting on the end of the hoses that came with my Western Chassis drop spindle set was like yours with the two flats and two domes. This isn't correct for 67-70, so I filed the fitting into a hex shape to match the brackets on my truck. Had to add a .080" thick washer to make the groove line up with the retaining clip.
I had the same issue with the cotte rpin hole in the upper ball joint. I had to file the hole in the ball joint into a slot to get the pin to fit through. That was even with a lot of extra torque on the nut.
