F250 brake hard lines - are the 88s same as the 86s?
Hi All,
Newb here! I have a 1988 F250 5.0L 2wd standard cab long bed. The flexible hoses are cracked and crusty but I cannot get the flare nuts undone so I want replace the hard lines as well. LMC truck lists a set of pre-bent Stainless Steel that looks like my set up. However they claim the lines only fit the F250 up to 1986. The ones they show for the '88 don't look like my set up. Does anyone know if the '86 lines would work on an '88?
Thanks in advance!

You do have another option.
Places like NAPA sell brake lines already made up all you need to do is form them as you go. They are easy to work with, have used them many times.
I would look into what they have and you most likely will be able to replace the parts you need.
