Just found rusted out brake line from the master to the 3way piece

Has anyone made their own brakelines on a 57 f100 or similiar?

Or whats a better option ?

I take it you aren't driving the truck? A column shifter is normally a 3 spd. The exposed flywheel is because someone did not screw the metal cover back on. Not a huge issue. What oil? Someone else here may have an answer on that ?

If you can't make your own, try these guys:

I got some lines from Fine lines and they fit perfect. I don't know if they have lines for your truck.



Transmissions of this era usually use 90 weight gear oil. The best source of info is a shop manual.
