In Reply to: Nappa Listing, brake lines for 1953 ? posted by Bruce Clarke on Wednesday, September 05, 2001 at 9:56PM :
If your talking about a steel brake line, you do not need to find a listing or part for it. They sell ready made lines which might fit (length wise) or can be cut and end(s) replaced. If it is a real long one they should have bulk brake line which they can make a duplicate to your brake line. You can either do the flaired ends with the appropriate tools or have them do the ends. It should be a simple job to make the brake line. The difficult part will be removing the existing line and installing the new one.
Word of caution!!!!!!!!!!!!! If one portion of a brake line has rusted out, i would not really trust the rest of the brake line in the truck. Your talking about safety and your life. While your in there replace all of the steel brake lines and the rubber ones as well. The cost will not be prohibative if you install the lines yourself even if you have someoe make them for you.
I made an entire set for my 42 WC53 with only minor problems. Vintage Power Wagons may have a ready made one for you.
