Need some brake parts help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We are making some slow progress on our 64 C10, and I’m at the point where I need to order some brake lines. The truck is LS swapped with a 6.0, and I managed to rob the hydroboost master from the 2010 Silverado donor. 4 wheel discs - No Limit brakes up front, I think they are Impala brakes, and F body discs out back with Captain Fab brackets.

If I’m being honest, aside from hardlines, I’m not entirely sure what else I need. I’m ordering a mounting bracket for the master from Captain Fab. Obviously it needs hardlines, and flex hoses (3 I think - 2 up front and one out back?). What else am I forgetting? Mounting tabs? Prop valve? Any extra fittings that I’ll need? I’m planning to do a stainless hardline kit for a 4 wheel power disc conversion, so I don’t have to buy the flaring tool. Thanks in advance for helping with my stupid questions. I know cars, but this is my first full build, so there are some gaps in knowledge that I’m filling in.

Hey chris. I hope all is well. I have the CaptainFab brake brackets (Rear Disc) for my 1968 C10. I am gonna walk that path with you. You have a big build going on. I’m just trying to convert my drums to disc. If you need help DM me. Once I’m actually going thru the conversion I want to document the conversion to help others. My email is dec010974@yahoo.com

My '61 has NBS hydroboost and master, 6.0L LS, OBS 8600GVW brakes up front, and F-body/Caprice disc out back with my own brackets. The only thing extra I've added was an adjustable proportioning valve.

.... but a line lock is tempting.

Thanks for the replies guys. My challenge is that I no longer have any of the factory stuff that came off the truck (it was unusable), so I’m kind of shooting in the dark on the odds and ends beyond the hardlines. I guess I’ll break out the factory assembly manual to get an idea of how it was originally configured.

There's a bracket on the rear of the frame and rear axle to keep the hose in place. There's a bracket on each side of the front suspension cross member to keep the hoses in place (see picture where rubber hose is connected). Other than those points, the hard lines are held in by clips along various spots on the frame.

1 rubber hose for the rear, 2 for the front

Happy to help!
Also found a picture showing the bracket on the rear axle. Ignore the ill fitting lines. I ordered them for a 63 axle before I found out I had a 65-70 axle in the truck
