- I ordered a set of pre-bent stainless steel brake lines from Brother's Trucks (Manufactured by Inline Tube) and they needed some modification. I also mount the aluminum 20 gallon gas tank from CPP.

Cpp sells the front disc conversion brake line kit just for the 70s, it fit like a glove on mine
In stainless? When I ordered through Brothers they had regular steel, just not stainless
@@paulkc10 yep, I'll try and find the pn for others
@@paulkc10 found it, 6770FLK-SS
Awesome that would have made my life a lot easier. I’ll pin this comment so it’s at the top.
I'll be hitting the brakes very soon on my own build. As usual, you made it look easy. Thanks as always!
gas tank looks fantastic. wish I would have gone the same route(top fill). used a blazer tank with angled filler neck and it was a pain. front suspension set up looks top notch
I was about to ask where you ordered your parts, then you mention it right away lol. Gonna start on a 65 sir thank you for the footage.
Love this build! Thanks for sharing. Sub'd for all the goodness!
Using a good double flaring tool is a must, I’ve never flared stainless lines before, Eastwood has a really nice tool for that. Good luck and don’t forget to put the flare nut on first!! Take care, truck is looking great!!
Yea it’ll be interesting getting this stainless steel to flare. Luckily both are 3/16” line and it seems fairly malleable. The 1/4” line is tough
I agree re the Eastwood tool. What do you use for a tbg bender
I did all mine on my 61 Apache on regular steel. It bends and flares alot easier then stainless. If you buy stainless lines make sure they are prebent and already have the the nuts on them.
Anytime you flare stainless it’s a single 37 degree due to the hardness of stainless it will crack.
I bought a kit from inline for my 1972 C10 with disc brakes up front and drums on the rear and had trouble in the same area you are having issues with, but everything else fit like a glove.
It’s definitely not a direct fit as advertised. Customer service didn’t seem to care about much either.
I purchased a CPP tank also. It took me a while to get around to installing it so it's an evidently an earlier version and an 18 gal tank. Part number KUST-1401and it has a 2019 date on it.
After mounting it below the frame, like you did, it stuck up beyond the frame rails about 1/4". I had to add a spacer between the mounting bracket and the frame to
space the tank down enough to get the bed installed flush with the frame. The tank also had a bow in the top that made the situation worse.
The filler is also very close to the center of the tank, how lame is that having the filler almost in the middle of the box.
It didn't have the mounting hole for the in-tank pump either, that had to be cut in. Installing it was a very frustrating experience .
I can tell your tank sits lower and it a 20 gal tank two more than my older version. The extra two gallons must come from the beveled edge on the one side. This tank may no longer sold at CPP and I can tell you why. Wish they did a little more product research and development instead of letting their customers do it for them. I would have returned it if I could. An expensive POS in my opinion. Your tank appears to be a much improved design.
I saved time by removing that back bracket then slide the tank in then bolt the bracket back into place.
Had the same headaches with my brake lines. when I do the rear discs and need a proportioning valve, I'm just gonna buy bulk line and bend my own on what gets replaced.
Not a bad idea
Should've bought the kit for the 69...69 & 70 are practically identical...they changed for 71-72...
CPP, some refer to as Chinese Performance Parts. Maybe that's why the tank took so long to get there. Great looking build!
That was exactly the issue
They claim they make everything in house in CA...
Nice install. I ordered a very similar tank from brothers what size bolts did u go with?
Thanks
Mine had all the hardware included. I would imagine yours will too
I freaked out on mine when installing the rear tank and saw that crossmember at an angle my first thought was FRAME DAMAGE LOL
Haha nope. Gotta make room for the panhard bar bracket
So that tank doesnt have straps like some of the others do would it be hard to remove if you ever had to take it out
I wanna upgrade my chevy colorado pickup an put an aluminum gas tank on the rear do u bought a light weight aluminum tank? Cause they are kinda expensive. I'm planning to put it just behind the cab put it in the over the front of the bed
Aluminum is pretty light
Is your chassis an original swb or a converted one
Shortened
Do you have a video of routing the fuel lines?

What is the music in the background??
Do you think that the fuel lines will work on a 1970 ?
This is a ‘70. So yep
