Hi, I'm routing out the lines for my 77 C10 long bed. I was wondering if anyone has done some routing on their truck would share examples or advice of what their routing looks like. This is my first time routing brakes so I'm just trying to go about this the correct way. I've relocated the proportioning valve next to the master cylinder and I'm running my lines from there.
Thanks :)

I always order my brake line from classic tube in stainless steel and have the prop valve in the stock location.
I would follow the stock routing to keep the lines out of the way of everything that could rub or high heat.

This guy installs a ready kit but there are good shots from the routing.

Use the lines that are for your truck.
Lay them out, start in the middle, identify the bends that go around obstructions on the frame..

He already relocated his combination valve. I'd put it back in stock location and use stock routings. But that's not what he's trying to do.
