Strange brake lines set up....
On all the early Chev C15a cab 11 that I have seen they had the long rubber flex line go from a hole in the frame directly to the wheel cylinder..... with a funny spring holding the rubber brake line up out of harms way. I actually found a full box of these springs at the Weare rally in New Hampshire. The end of the spring is tied to one of the inner fender bolts.
I have taken precaution to restore my cab 11 in the same fashion. I have other later Chevy cab 12 that have a shorter flex rubber line going to a bracket to the centre of the front axle.... a steel tube then goes to a bracket, on each side, on one of the bolts of the egg cup mounting flange and a short rubber line to the wheel cylinder. A cab 11 with chains on the early set up front axle would have had very vulnerable brake lines...... Bob
