really? i went to one in a different town and they didnt even have any already flared or anything, guess ill check ours.. so yours were already good to go? as in you could just go to your lines and connect them and done? aside from bending them that is.. how hard would it be to bend them by hand? i dont want to **** with bending machine over and over..

also how much was the line, and how long?

your almost never going to get anywhere close bending by hand.

Bills right, if you try to bend by hand, you will pinch the line, or at the very least cause a restriction. Autozone let me use their bender to shape the lines, I just took my old in and done it while I was there. Pretty simple, just a little hand held manual bender. If they don't have it, check other parts stores. Like I said, auto zone had them here, so someone there is bound to carry them if not Auto Zone. I would just kep calling parts stores. That should also be interchangeable with full size pickups as well. Mine was a 3/16, and it was for full size chvy, 95 model.

well, all the other lines i got were from junkyard S10's.. and the place has other full sizes, but im tired of going there and getting them rusted pieces of craps.. although the lines are free since he cant legally sell them, so he just tells me to go take it off, lol.. but my problem is, how the line is bent, it gets in the way and gets kinked up and crap.

Go rent a bender from autozone. They have manual benders, real simple fix. If you do it by hand, it will cause a restriction or pinch which opens up a whole other can of problems.

you think i should try and go pull one off a junkyard truck and then go to AutoZone and bend it? that may be an easier route to try first i guess.. cheaper too..

Yeah, would be cheaper, but the lines only cost about 5 bucks apiece. But if you are having problems getting it to shape right, then def rent a bender. Hell, take the bender home, its pretty small, easy to get into the tighter areas around the R/E. That way you can ensure a fit.

im sure they will let me know, i know em all pretty well... i just need to make it til Friday.. im flat broke.

ok.. just got a line off a 93 Blazer i believe... while i was there there was a 98 Blazer with rear disc brakes... i wonder if that rearend is swappable with my 96.. hmm

just change the brakes.
