Have questions - need pictures!

I've converted my 69 suburban to disc brakes. I've used all 71/72 parts (master cylinder/power booster/proportioning valve......). I ordered a set of 71/72 front brake lines and they are totally different. Are 71/72 trucks they same as 71/72 suburbans? Is there a huge difference in the 69/70 and the 71/72 brake lines. Does anyone have any pictures so I can figure out which ones to order. Thanks in advance.

Same as the trucks from year to year as far as I know. I put 71-72 discs on my 69 Burb, but I had to use line size reducers at the propo valve.

Did you replace the entire cross member? There is a huge difference on where the front brake hoses attach to the hard lines between a 67-70 drum cross member and a 71-up disk crosmember. Perhaps this is your issue? Truck and suburbans share the same components
