Another 8-3/4 Rear Question: BRAKE HOSE?

In the 65 Dart, my 8-3/4 is bolted in, brake cables in,

What to do with the brake hose,
I bought a new brake hose to match the rear ('71 I think) and it doesn't want to make it to the body bracket for the hose to mount up, its really close but has a lot of tension if I try to hook it in there.

Thoughts?

Truck hose maybe?
