Hey guys, I recently converted my rear drum / 7 1/4 set up to a Dana 60 with disc brakes. I already had disc up front but wanted disc all round. I am looking for visual aides on how you guys out there (that are running similar set ups) are running your brake lines to the rear.
Are you running stock Prop valves? What distribution blocks are you going with?
Just trying to get some ideas here. Thanks FABO

That's exactly what I did with my car. When I get home, I'll check my records for exactly what I have. I'll go snap some pictures after work.

PM me so I remember.

I am in Sonoma county, so if you are close, you can come by and take a look.

Yea. What you don't see in my pictures is a huge pile of crumpled up stainless brake line, and a whole bunch of unused stainless fittings. LOL!!!

HAHAHHAHA I know that feeling. I have so many left over AN fittings from my fuel system, I don't know where or why I bought so many of the SAME fitting.
 
That's why they make coat hangers. To figure out your game plan first. Cut off the fittings and reuse them.
 
I bought all my stuff from Cass at Dr. Diff. here's a cut/paste from my order. I forgot to get pictures and I am not up for going out and getting them now, dealing with a sick son. I'll try to snap the pics tomorrow.
