ECE Drop Brake Hose Question

So I bought an Early Classic Enterprises 3.5/5 drop for my 1967 c10 some 15 years ago when I got the thing then life happened and I’m finally getting going on it again. With the switch to front discs from the kit and ECE now closed what brake hoses should I be buying. I have no brake lines installed and have to buy a complete new kit anyway. I assume I should get the lines for a 72 with factory discs but is there better hoses I should be getting due to the drop?

Your question begs another question. Have you maintained the lines to the rear of the crossmember or moved to the front similar to the 71/72 setup?

I used a complete kit from Inline Tube that maintained the lines in the factory locations. The front flex lines were for a 1969 Buick GS. I think the Autozone part number is 88466.

I have no brakelines on the chassis whatsoever and figured I'd get a set of 71/72 to put in place seeing they were factory disc front. This helps. Thanks.

Re: ECE Drop Brake Hose Question

Then just buy 71-72 disc lines.
