Re-assembling A Frame Off Resto

Doppleganger · Mar 27, 2021

You fellas that have BTDT....looks like with a blank frame, the fuel and brake lines would be the first thing back on?

If so, which one works best to run first - the brake lines or the fuel lines? They intertwine several spots - cant remember which one is under the other. Wont have my axles back for a couple weeks, then those are going back on.

Thanks.

I'd run the brake lines first as there is more of them but still leave the clips loose for adjustment.

Actually doing this job the past week or so. Unfortunately, wasn't able to use stock set-up and had to wait until truck was partially assembled as it now has a C-Notch, rear-mounted under bed tank, trans swap, etc which all made it necessary to have to wait until further along.

Yeah this was a PITA! I wish I would have done it while the front/engine cross member was still out. I fought it forever and couldn't even tell you how to begin but the pics from HOTFOOT are a great tool!

Glad I kept all my old lines so I knew layout and R-clip placements. Cant imagine having to change these with everything still in the truck.
