 Has anyone worked/replaced the rear brake lines on a w series 1.5 ton or larger? Wonder if the banjo (block) can be used from a B series as Vic’s is no longer in business? I’m going on a limb that  they use the same wheel cylinder.  
  As usual, I was doing a small “easy” job by cleaning the tee while replacing the frame line and apparently over torqued the female nut (tee fitting) causing it crack and now have to replace the entire line. In this case, banjo appears to be brazed to the line so I now get to replace that as well (both sides to match, guess they needed replaced anyway). 
  I see the B series are available and take a double flare fitting.

Have you checked with VPW, DCM or Roberts?

 I have not, had to work late so far this week. I may give them a try, don’t see anything on DCM’s page though. Plan to modernize this a few years if possible as will be easier for the next time it needs addressed.

 I did look at some 60-70’s truck banjo ends from past projects and there are several key characteristics that differ a little. Have to see if I can come up with something safe.
