I am looking for the best place to get extended brake lines for a gm dana 44hd and a gm 14bolt ff. I am planning to do a SOA and 63" chevy in the rear, so I need them to be long enough for that.

I used the BJ's SS braided ones (what ever the longest were) for my '66-70.
Caliper is the same between GM and FSJ IIRC, needed an adapter in the rear up top at the hard line disconnect, but that was a oldstyle FSJ rig thing, you should be fine.
Lot's of folks use the Chevy van front lines from late '70's and bend the rear line. The BJ' stuff just seemed simpler and was fine.

Bj's rear line will work for the 14bolt?

If the 14B has two steel lines coming from each drum to a a splitter block on top of the axle (somewhere near the center of the axle), and it has a hose going from there to the frame of the truck - then YES, the BJ's line will work.

Btw, I love my BJ's extended lines. :thumbsup:

I have BJ's lines spec'd for the 4" lift and they are LONG. I doubt I'll ever have that much droop to even come CLOSE to stretching them out. Which is good, I suppose...
