I'm not sure why but if you would have used the bracket to mount it on the mc mounting bolt the lines would have fell in place. I used a slightly different booster and mc so I had to bend up a different rear mc to valve line than was supplied with the kit but the front lines were perfect as is.

Here's mine using a CPP prop valve.

Thanks for the reply! Your absolutely right I bent the lines backward. I guess the reason I did this is because on my 72 GMC 3/4 ton thats the way the lines go must be different for 1/2 tons because I looked at another 1/2 ton stepside today and it had the lines like yours so I must need to replumb those lines. Thanks!
