I have read that some were routed that way. Do you know more about what determined the different routings? Year? C10 vs C20? I am 100% sure that mine are original.
EDIT: Maybe to get the line farther from the exhaust? I had a '86 crew cab dually that would overheat the brake fluid when climbing a steep grade with the camper onboard. I'd pull over before heading downhill AFTER a climb. The brake line was close to the right side exhaust. I had a heat shield made and flushed the system to remove any captive air. OK after that.
