The revcon brake system appears about identical to the GMC.
I'm redoing the rear lines and wheel cylinders ans shoes.
The new cylinders call for a slightly smaller fitting than was there before. So i took my new brake lines to NAPA in hopes of finding an adapter. I got something that looked right, it fit the brake line on one end and had a slightly smaller fitting on the other but it did not thread into the hole.
The NAPA person was not very knowledgeable, she just let me pick through a box of fittings. But I'm thinking there are some specific thread type issues here that I don't understand.
Meanwhile, I need one flexible line to go from a T on the axle to a steel line going forward, in about the same size (1/4 inch) ?
She handed me a book to look through but it really wanted to match it to a given car.
This should not be that difficult.
