SS Brake Line Set from Inline Tube work on 72 F250?

Post by JPC1972 »

Does anyone know if the stainless steel brake line sets from inline tubing will work on 72 F250 2WD long bed with front power disc brakes? They don't list the F250 but do list the F100/F150. When i spoke to them on the phone they said I would need to do research to see if the F100/F150 2WD long bed with front power disc brakes would be the same config as on the F250. Anyone know?

Regarding the 1972 F250's with disc brakes, I've seen 2 types. From 68 to 72, the front hard lines and brackets look the same.
Later in 72, the hard lines, flex-hoses, brackets are different. Part #'s for the calipers differ as well, used a banjo-fitting on the flex-hose to caliper.
There's also the proprtioning valve on the crossmember, no F100's or drum equipped F250 had one, that I know of.

I've converted mine to disc, I do remember the entire front plumbing from the distribution block to the calipers was different than the drum setup.

F150's had discs in the 70's, but the distribution block and proportioning valve were both relocated and combined into 1 combination valve-distribution block.

For the bumps,the mid-year change, the differences from disc to drum, the drum lines I doubt will work.
At least that's how I see it! :maybe:
