    sure don't , still have the factory ones with 200k on them, lol, not that pads, but rotors and drums, ahahah, they have held up great,

    that reminds me, i'll be upgrading to SS Brake Corporation components someday,

    so are you talking about the lines between the hard lines and caliper, i hear they really firm the brake pedal up

    Yeah those that go between the caliper and replace the rubber hose. I have a set for my Blue Oval I haven't swapped in yet (I hate playing with brakes) and was wondering how much better my braking will be.

    Oh the $40/ea are to custom make DOT approved lines...as there is no kit available for the 99+ trucks that I have seen

    Only problem is for me to send them in all 5 rubber hoses to make stainless braded DOT lines.

    Only thing I though of was to buy a new set from the dealer, send the hoses to classic tube, get the rubber ones back, and take them back to the dealer.

    CT needs a template to make hoses from.

    Does anyone know if any are made for the earlier trucks?

    what do they call the 88-98? generation of trucks anyway? I&#39;m used to f-bodies where you can just say 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation.
    1 ton, 4600 pounds, 14.3@94mph any questions?
