    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    A quick follow-up to the LMC truck stainless kit. I decided to go with it because it was an easy option for long lasting brake lines. One big caveat, they do not sell a kit for K30's and so, the rear lines going into the load sensing brake valve do not fit at all. I also ran into issues with...

    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    I wonder what the market is like for frame assemblies. My frame is pretty much covered in rust, yet to see any perforations though (other than brackets). I hope to soon pull the body and drivetrain out and do a hot dip galvanization, might be easier with a less rusty frame and just do a swap...

And the few posts on here I hear reference to 3/16 and 1/4" tube sizes. But the part #s won't tell me... Can...
