I think once I find the adapter I need to use my transmission with the newer 4472 transfer I will only have one major hurdle left and that will be the brake lines. I am hoping I can reuse the factory lines from the 89 but I may have to make some and to be honest I have never done that. I have made fuel lines and transmission lines but that was a long time ago. I have atubing bender kit but my flaring tool is missing parts so I will have to either buy one or see if autozone has one I can rent. Mark
The brake lines will be easy, as they are smaller and easier to bend (can be wrapped around a beer bottle). I replaced all of them on my 88 last summer, and just used sections of line and couplers, so I can replace just what I need in another 10 or so years.
I want to say the rear line was 3/16ths, while the front lines were 1/4 inch. At least they all use normal line fittings (no metric stuff mixed in). On mine, the section of line between the frame rail and the fuel tank was where the rear line rusted thru and leaked. I did the fronts, only because I had the rear open, and they looked a little crusty after 31 years.
