went ahead and tightened them through the hole in frame locdoc like yours...should hold fine.

I moved to the rear of the truck. the plan was to replace the bags and freshen everything up back there. well, I removed everything and now I am thinking of redoing my bag over axle setup. let the snowball continue.....

starting on the brake lines. I'm so terrible at this lol. plan is to run 3/16" line for the rear drum brakes (including the long line to the back rubber axle line). will use 1/4" for the front disc brakes couldn't find a definite answer to what size line so that'd what I chose. hope it works out ok. figured the front discs would need bigger lines than the drums

**kev2809** · 01-13-2022, 08:53 AM

does this tee location look to be in an ideal location? it's easier to make the lines run to it, but if I have a leak it looks like it will be in a hard to reach spot. yall think its ok?

It might be a little tough if you are going to run a sway bar, otherwise it might not be too bad. I think I would go with it.

doesn't the sway bars run in the front of the engine?

You are correct. I thought I was looking at the front of the cross member... Oh well, another day in the barrel...

**kev2809** · 01-13-2022, 08:03 PM

finished up the brake lines think they came out ok. praying they don't leak. with that protective metal wire loom they won't snap back into the factory crossmember clamps. will have to figure out some other mounting clip I guess

ha! confused the crap out of me, because I do eventually want a sway bar.

I want to try and drop my drivetrain in this weekend so I can get started on redoing my rear air bag setup to set the pinion angles right.

cowboys in the playoffs playing Sunday so we will see!

heyo! had to slide my trans crossmember up about an inch or 2 to the next set of holes...but it's bolted in with the dingo sliders all the way back. I don't like how the brake lines are just about touching my headers, will have to address that. everything has plenty of clearance.

Yes, I would move those brake lines as far away as you can. It might not hurt to put some kind of heat shield on them too. It will heat the brake fluid up and expand it. If the fluid returns to the master cylinder that might not hurt anything but it locked the brakes up on my '36 Ford when it happened on it.

i was able to get them without touching but they are still about 1/4" away. im thinking if i wrap them with some heat deflective wrap it would help?

**kev2809** · 01-17-2022, 07:26 PM

hand bent them a little more and its looking better. once i get my column back in i can dial it in and wrap the lines there.

im trying to get my stock ps lines to work with the ls steering pump. i think i can make them work if i shorten up the return hose line. but on the pressure line i do kind of have to worm it under the pump like the picture but i think it will be fine. i just need to either get a fitting adapter for the ps pump or see if i can get an original fitting from our style pump and swap them out. yall think these stock ones should work?

**BigBird05** · 01-17-2022, 07:33 PM

You should be able to get the right fitting from NAPN and get them to install it on your hose. Even the NAPA in my little town can do it.

**kev2809** · 01-17-2022, 07:38 PM

the problem is there is almost no room to shorten this thing with the bend on the pump side fitting. im guessing they would have to cut the hose and crimp a new tube on it with the right bend and right fitting. can they do that? i have a napa about 15 min up the road from me

**kev2809** · 01-17-2022, 07:58 PM

I pulled the fitting and oddly it seems to thread in. however, when it fully tightens the tube can still wiggle in and out some, like the it isn't sealed. the gear box side works perfect, both fittings snug down and don't move.

**kev2809** · 01-17-2022, 08:01 PM

well i pulled the fitting from the ps pump and this line does thread in, but it does not seat the line. it threads about half way and gets snug, but the line still wiggles in and out. on the gear box side both lines snug perfect and lines dont move at all. last pic shows how far in the fitting goes before i cnt tighten it anymore. hmm...

**kev2809** · 01-18-2022, 04:51 PM

ordered a fitting from amazon after striking out at the junkyard today. hope it works.

got my knock sensors and galley cover on followed by the intake. starting to look more like a motor. tons of room between the motor and firewall, love it. on this booster fitting, can it swapped from one from the donor truck? the ls hose is too big for the smaller booster fitting.

**kev2809** · 01-18-2022, 06:25 PM

i did find a replacement booster check valve through amazon, but i went an easier way and just cut the ls hose and put a 1/2" to 3/8" hose reducer and ran 3/8" hose to the stock booster fitting. think it will work fine.

Take a look at this thread. This is what I used on mine. The little button adapters.

Like you I have an early flare fitting steering box and a late model o-ring pump. The PO used an adapter fitting like the one shown in the thread LockDoc posted. I am fixing to tear it all apart and replace the pump and steering box this week. Let me know if you need some pictures or other help.
