All C-6 lines the same?

Post by cole71 »

I'm looking at putting a set of stainless steel trans cooler lines on my C-6 from inline tube.

My truck was originally a 3 speed on the column and I took a C-6 out of a 78 dent side.

My question is, are all the lines the same? or will I need to buy a set for a 78?

Thanks, Cole

The fittings on all C6's are the same size..Where you may run into problems is the bends & configurations used on different body & engine styles.
May I ask why you are using stainless? Are you building a show truck? If not, you can use Bundy flex brake line from any auto supply...Donnie

The lines have different configurations, dependent on the radiator's lower tank.

How would one figure out which lines to get? I'll check the radiator off the donor, but i believe there pretty close to my 71 radiator.

Buy stainless steel tube stock and a bender and bend your own. Use the cheapy stock crap from your local parts store first to make some patterns.
